Brand Growth Strategy and Structural Transformation Under the New Medium- to Long-Term Vision

「Based on these considerations, in May 2026 our group announced a new medium- to long-term vision covering fiscal 2026 through the 2030s. Rather than merely extending the previous medium-term plan, we set out a more medium- to long-term direction, “Enhance customer satisfaction and corporate value by strengthening distinctive products and brands.” Under this policy, we will pursue a brand-centered “growth strategy” and “structural transformation” aimed at strengthening our earnings base at the same time, thereby steadily achieving this vision even in a highly uncertain business environment.」
