Regarding the business portfolio, in which areas will you allocate funds from a long-term perspective?
  • We will strengthen management aimed at building a portfolio that achieves overall optimization for the group, focusing on two axes: capital profitability and growth.
  • In the current medium-term management plan, we have positioned "Energy" and "Information and Communication Services for Corporations" as growth areas. In the next medium-term management plan, we also plan to focus on promising areas such as GX-related initiatives and overseas opportunities.
Regarding shareholder returns, how do you plan to approach this in the next medium-term management plan, considering the soundness of your finances?
  • Shareholder returns will be crucially linked to cash allocation. We will prioritize business expansion and utilize cash for this purpose.
  • We also place significant importance on shareholder dividends and aim to maintain a payout ratio of 40-50%.
  • The acquisition of treasury stock will be considered while monitoring cash allocation.
The government has set a goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. What impact will this initiative have on the LP gas business?
  • The CO2 emission factor for LP gas during combustion is among the top class of environmental performance among fossil fuels, including LNG, making it a clean energy source.
  • We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our business activities by 100% by 2050.
  • We will promote the adoption of environmentally friendly products such as high-efficiency water heaters and solar power generation, further advancing the promotion of GX in our customers' energy usage.
