In the field of energy solution projects, we are involved in renewable energy, energy conservation, and energy transition. Meanwhile, in the field of healthcare, we are creating and operating medical and medical-related services. The Energy & Healthcare Solutions Division aims to provide solutions to social issues such as the demand for decarbonization, population growth, and aging populations.

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 & Healthcare Division

In the energy sector, we anticipate continued growth of the decarbonization business thanks to rising global awareness of environmental issues and an increase in government support around the world. In the healthcare sector, there is rising demand to address care-related needs associated with growing populations, lengthening life expectancies, and rising healthcare costs, among other social issues. While we anticipate market growth in these industries, we can also expect changes such as heightened competition due to an influx of new competitors 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.
