Digitalization

In 2023, we established the DX Promotion Office, which is responsible for advancing digital transformation (DX) and strengthening IT controls throughout the group. DX promotion is based on two perspectives: digital transformation and digital optimization. Digital transformation is a strategic initiative aimed at business reform to help ensure our overwhelming competitive advantage in the market. It starts with deciding on a project policy in line with our management strategy of “winning through differentiation.” This is a large-scale strategic initiative that involves the participation of various business departments and company-wide divisions.
For digital optimization on the other hand, we first analyze group-wide operations to better understand the current situation, and then implement business reforms that are not bound by conventional procedures or structures. As digitalization progresses, the importance of IT controls is also increasing year by year. Starting in fiscal 2024, we will begin IT control audits throughout the entire group. In addition, we are working to establish the Basic IT Governance Policy and the Basic Information Security Policy as group-wide policies.
Through these initiatives, we will strengthen our competitiveness in the digital age and build a foundation for achieving sustainable growth.
