Message from the President

"Contributing to the realization of a sustainable society in terms of the environment, safety, and security as a 100-year-old company" is our vision as the ideal state toward 2050. As the start for the realization of the vision, we are moving toward the realization of the change defined in ICHIGAN 2024, which is the medium-term management plan for five years starting in 2020.

Because 2024 is the last fiscal year of the medium-term management plan, the RYODEN Group must attain our goal for the change stipulated in ICHIGAN 2024 and complete the building of a solid foundation for realizing the vision as a 100-year-old company.

The RYODEN Group will sublimate our strong DNA so that

• We will continue to create new businesses beyond the bounds of a distributor and trading company, not exclusive to product sales.
• We will pursue high profitability by contributing to the improvement of customer value rather than scale.
• We will realize foreignization which can be achieved only by our company, rather than differentiation.

With these perspectives, I intend to work on the change and practice purpose management.

The RYODEN Group will propose specific efforts to realize high added value for our customers and establish a solid position in the market as a value co-creation partner company.
As a company that contributes to the realization of a safe, secure, convenient, and comfortable society as well as the realization of sustainable society for green development (green life, green consumption, green production and green supply chain) that supports the safe, secure, convenient, and comfortable society, we will share value with all stakeholders including our employees and live up to our responsibility as a company.

We sincerely hope that all of our stakeholders will continue to extend their warm support to our group.
