Division Strategy

We will continue to create resilient businesses and capable individuals by constantly pursuing and enhancing our unique competitive advantage at Sojitz.

Takefumi Nishikawa

Executive Officer, COO
Energy Solutions & Public Infrastructure Division

In the energy sector, we anticipate continued growth of business related to decarbonization thanks to rising global awareness of environmental issues and an increase in government support around the world. In the infrastructure sector, there is a growing need for solutions to social issues such as housing shortages resulting from population growth. While we anticipate market growth in these industries, we can also expect changes such as heightened competition due to an inflow of new players entering the market. These transformations will require Sojitz to provide added value and secure a strong competitive advantage.

In addition to our existing asset-based infrastructure businesses, we are working across all of our business sectors to establish service-based businesses focused on providing solutions to customers. Through this approach, we aim to expand our earnings opportunities, broaden our business scope, and ensure robust growth for the Division.

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 in order to ensure that we have access to valuable and accurate business intel. In addition, 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. These strategies will allow us to develop a competitive advantage rooted in Sojitz’s unique capabilities as we continue to create new value.

Sojitz aims to realize a net-zero carbon society by reducing CO2 emissions through its energy-related business.

With lower CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared to petroleum and coal, LNG and natural gas are garnering attention as a key transition energy source, and Sojitz is contributing to stable energy supply in Japan and around the world through its initiatives spanning across the upstream and downstream segments of the LNG supply chain.

In addition, Sojitz provides comprehensive energy solutions through its electricity retail, gas retail, rooftop solar power, and energy conservation service businesses in Spain, Ireland, and Australia.
