We are facing an era in which it is increasingly difficult to make predictions due to climate change, geopolitical risks, and fluctuations in financial and capital markets.
In these rapidly changing times, the responsibilities that companies must fulfill continue to grow. In order to achieve sustainable growth in such an environment, it is more important than ever to have a long-term perspective, envision “what we aim for,” and think about “what needs to be done now,” starting from the future we envision.
Ever since Koatsu Gas Kogyo Co., Ltd. was founded in 1958, our corporate activities have been inspired by our basic philosophies of “Harmony among People, Technology and the Environment” and “Safety and security” and we have been on a constant quest to contribute to social development and to help enrich people’s everyday lives through our gas business, chemical products business and IT solution business.
Precisely because we are living in an era of dramatic change and uncertainty, we believe it is essential to reassess the “character of Koatsu Gas Kogyo Group,” fully demonstrate the “comprehensive strength” the Group has cultivated over time through our “experience” and “connections,” and work together as a Group to respond with flexibility and resilience in any situation, further accelerating our transformation and taking on challenges as we move toward our next stage of growth.
The Company has formulated a policy for future efforts pursuing Management Conscious of Cost of Capital and Stock Price in order to promote the sustainable growth of the Company and improve corporate value over the medium to long term.
Going forward, we will proactively implement a business strategy based on our Medium-Term Management Plan, an investment strategy of continuing to invest in existing facilities while also investing in R&D and human capital in order to improve profitability, and a financial strategy aimed at strengthening shareholder returns and optimizing our capital structure.
Looking ahead, we will continue to build long-term relationships of trust with all stakeholders. While seeking to address society’s demands attentively and sincerely, we will strive to achieve sustainable growth, enhance corporate value and develop as a group company that is both essential to and trusted by society at large.
I thank you in advance for your continued understanding and support, which is greatly appreciated.
