Social Transformation and Business Acceleration through New-Normal Management

「In Japan, COVID-19 was reclassified as a Class 5 infectious disease under the Infectious Diseases Act from 8 May, and social and economic activity is accelerating toward a post-COVID “new normal.” The company has been working toward the “new normal” for some time and is taking steps to steadily capture the recovery in social and economic activity and increased corporate capital investment as business opportunities.」

「In Japan, social and economic activity is showing signs of accelerating toward a post-COVID “new normal” as COVID-19 is scheduled to be reclassified as a Class 5 infectious disease under the Infectious Diseases Act from 8 May. The company has been working toward the “new normal” for some time and is taking steps to steadily capture the recovery in social and economic activity and increased corporate capital investment as business opportunities.」

「Although Japan is facing the eighth wave of COVID-19 infections, as described above, some domestic companies have been actively increasing investment amid the shift toward the "new normal" of living with and following COVID-19, creating a business opportunity for the Group. The company largely completed its response in the previous consolidated fiscal year to productivity improvements through office transformation oriented toward the "new normal" and expense controls.」

「The shift toward a post-pandemic “new normal” also represents a business opportunity for our Group, and we have made management with the new normal in mind one of our basic policies. Regarding office reform, we changed to a new office design focused on communication among employees, and the relocation and integration of 2 subsidiaries into our head office building was completed during the second quarter, with the resulting cost-reduction benefits beginning to emerge.」

「The shift toward the post-COVID "new normal" is also a business opportunity for the Group. The Group has made management oriented toward the "new normal" one of its basic policies and is actively pursuing initiatives including productivity improvements through office transformation and expense controls. As part of this effort, during the first 6 months of the current consolidated fiscal year, the Group relocated and consolidated 2 subsidiaries into the company's head office building and changed the office layout to prioritize communication among employees. The Group has thus largely completed its response to the "new normal."」

「The shift toward the post-COVID-19 “new normal” also represents a business opportunity for the Group. We have positioned management oriented toward the new normal as one of our basic policies and are actively pursuing initiatives in this area.」

「Many industries and companies have been significantly affected in their businesses and performance by the spread and continuation of infections, and negative effects may continue for the Group's businesses, particularly those serving private-sector customers. At the same time, these conditions represent an opportunity to solve longstanding social issues and a business opportunity for the Group. The Group will strengthen analysis, research and recommendations concerning new trends (the VCP-A domain), as well as consulting and tools such as specific methods and know-how to respond to circumstances requiring transformation, and will accelerate businesses aimed at the new normal.」
