Division Strategy

In the energy sector, we anticipate continued growth of the decarbonization-related business due to rising global awareness of environmental issues and an increase in government support around the world. In the healthcare sector, there is rising demand related to social issues such as population growth, the extension of health life expectancies, and control of medical expenses. While we anticipate market growth in these industries, we can also expect changing market competition due to an influx of new players. These transformations will require Sojitz to provide higher competitive advantage and value creation.

In addition to our existing “asset-based” infrastructure businesses, we are pursuing to establish “businesses management model” focused on providing solutions to customers. Through this approach, we aim to expand our earnings opportunities, broaden our business scope, and ensure robust growth.

Furthermore, in addition to our current business network, we are expanding our local networks by strengthening ties with our business partners and tapping into the customer bases of our subsidiaries to ensure that we have access to valuable business intel. Also, we aim to provide services and solutions that meet the needs of local communities by leveraging Sojitz’s wide range of tangible and intangible assets. By these strategies, we will develop a competitive advantage rooted in Sojitz’s unique capabilities as we continue to create new value.
