Feature Complete our long-term vision “BULL55”, and move to a new growth stage
Kanamoto’s long-term vision “BULL55” – Build Up a Legendary Leading company plan for the 55th – which was formulated with the goal of the Kanamoto Group evolving into “an excellent and dynamic group that uses its solid earnings as a base to reward shareholders, customers and employees”, generally is progressing with results in line with our initial plan. The current fiscal year is the last fiscal year of the plan and will be an extremely important period for overall completion in preparation for the Company’s next growth stage.
In Japan, we are aggressively pursuing expansion of our base of operations in the Kanto and Koshinetsu regions, where large-scale projects including the Linear Chuo Shinkansen, infrastructure maintenance related to the Tokyo Olympics, and redevelopment projects are planned, and building an organization to strengthen net sales and earnings in the Tokyo metropolitan area, based on the medium to long-term demand outlook. Overseas we will proceed strategically with the creation of our overseas business base as an engine for long-term growth, centered on ASEAN countries where there is strong latent demand.
At the same time, to enhance risk resilience and ensure we can respond quickly to changes in the operating environment, we will further enhance performance management, strengthen our governance structure and strive to build a sustainable growth management structure for the long term.
