Creating Business Opportunities Through Carbon Neutrality Initiatives

「Linkers Trading had previously focused mainly on procurement support for recycled aluminum, but discontinued handling recycled aluminum at the end of the fiscal year under review because profitability deteriorated.」

「Sales of reports capturing trends in carbon-neutral technologies, which have attracted significant attention in recent years, as well as trends such as biosensing technologies, drove the number of research assignments by Linkers Research to 535, up from 360 in the same period of the previous year, while revenue also remained strong.」

「In the research service, sales of multi-client research, in which multiple companies are invited to participate and the results are provided exclusively to participating companies, were driven by increased sales of reports capturing trends such as technology developments related to carbon neutrality, which has attracted considerable attention in recent years, and biological sensing technologies. As a result, Linkers Research studies totaled 457, compared with 308 in the same period of the previous year, and sales remained strong.」

「Sales performed well alongside the increase in Linkers Research studies to 232, partly due to higher sales of reports designed around technology trends in carbon neutrality, which has attracted considerable attention in recent years, as well as biological sensing technologies.」

「Linkers Trading, which has been engaged in sourcing suppliers of recycled aluminum in response to the government's stronger efforts toward carbon neutrality, continued to perform steadily from the previous fiscal year.」

「Linkers Research performed strongly enough to offset the decline in exploration and matching service revenue because demand for its multi-client research designed around carbon neutrality, which has attracted considerable attention recently, was stronger than expected.」
