To realize our Vision 2030, we will create economic value through the creation of social values to achieve a spiral of enhanced corporate value by transforming our business portfolio to one that is resilient to market fluctuations and that has high asset efficiency, growth potential and carbon efficiency by promoting “ambidextrous management” with core and strategic businesses playing an integral role.
