Group CEO New Year Message to Employees: Make Necessary Improvements at Top Speed

On January 5, 2023, the first business day following a New Year’s holiday since the official start of the holding company structure in April 2022, Group CEO Yuki Kusumi shared a message with all employees. After assuming the position of CEO in FY2022, Kusumi emphasized that he would “focus on ‘strengthening the competitiveness’ of each business for the next two years”—a period that draws to a close at the end of March. In this message, he reiterates his strong desire not just to complete the two-year initiative, but to do so while gaining a competitive edge over the competition. With every worksite and every employee taking on this “challenge,” the Group will strive to realize an “ideal society with both material and spiritual affluence.”
