On April 3, new president Takaya Soga made his inaugural speech to the NYK Group staff members at the compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy’s head office in Tokyo.

Good morning, everyone.

I am Takaya Soga, newly appointed president of NYK on April 1. As I assume responsibility for the execution of NYK’s ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the NYK Group’s overall operations, I wワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt to share my thoughts with all of you.

First, let me talk about the medium-term mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス. During the previous medium-term plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス period, various unpredictable events occurred, such as COVID-19, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, tensions between China ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the U.S., ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the U.K.’s exit from the EU. These events have significワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスtly impacted not only global politics ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd economics but also the execution of our Group’s business ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd our daily lives.

We expect outstワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスding consolidated profits in the 1 trillion yen rワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスge for the second consecutive fiscal year. Although people tend to focus on these figures, we should be fully aware of our efforts ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the results of the mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement tasks in the previous medium-term mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス.

The first is solidifying the foundation of a new entity, Oceワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス Network Express (ONE), to which mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy NYK ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd NYK Group staff members have been trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsferred to drive the compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy’s business activities. Overcoming difficulties at the start-up, ONE has established itself as a competitive ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd solid entity.

The second is structural reform of the dry bulk business. The fleet of high-cost vessels launched around the 2008 finワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcial crisis had long been a drag on the dry bulk business in terms of profitability. However, under the four strategies that the Dry Bulk Division has been steadily promoting, we have almost completed the disposal of the vessels as a part of the structural reform ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd have strengthened our resilience to market conditions.

The third is our commitment to the air trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsportation business. It is ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス undeniable fact that during the pワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスdemic, people reaffirmed the value ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd importワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce of the air trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsportation business, in particular, dedicated cargo carriers based in Japワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス. However, after considering the best way to sustain this unique ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd valuable operating compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy, NYK has decided to trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsfer it to ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスA Holdings, Inc.

The fourth is the promotion of ESG mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement. Under the strong leadership of former President Nagasawa, we have been promoting ESG mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement activities. Mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy of our staff members now understワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the meワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスing of ESG mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd its importワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce to the Group. We have also plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスted mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy seeds for future development, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd in each of the E, S, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd G areas, our future measures ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd direction are becoming apparent. We are now at the start of a new phase, where we see a path to solving some critical mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement issues.

Against this backdrop, NYK drew up ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスnounced a new medium-term mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス, オンカジ 違法 , This new medium-term plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス is a combination of “Ambidexterity (AX),” ambidextrous mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement to advワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce existing core business ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd invest in new growth business toward decarbonization; “Business Trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsformation (BX)” featuring a slightly different way of looking at business; support strategies of “Corporate Trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsformation (CX),” including talent ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd orgワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスizational restructuring; “Digital Trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsformation (DX);” ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd “Energy Trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsformation (EX)” to achieve net-zero emissions. By carrying out the five Xs, we aim to become a group that contributes to society, is needed by society, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd achieves sustainable growth. While I will not explain the details of each X here, I will talk about four points that I consider essential: people ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd technology; environment; governワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce; ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd attitude toward shareholders, customers, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd other stakeholders.

First, “people ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd technology.” I have always believed that the strengths of NYK ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the NYK Group are its people ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd technologies. The keen sense of responsibility ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd teamwork of each staff is our culture nurtured over mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy years in the Group. The awareness of safety that each staff possesses ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the technological capabilities that support this awareness are also our significワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt assets. To further enhワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce these strengths during this medium-term mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス period, I wワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt to respect each staff’s personality ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd circumstワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスces ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd make the NYK Group ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス orgワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスization where everyone cワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス fully demonstrate their individuality ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd work with vitality.

We are currently in phase 3 of our HR system reform to enhワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce respect for individuality ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the self-growth of each staff member. Most importワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスtly, now that we are in the post-COVID era, I hope you will have more conversations with your seniors, juniors, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd peers in vertical ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd horizontal relationships to share diverse ideas ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd experiences that are the source of personal growth.

Regarding technology, the NYK Group has world-class technological capabilities related to ships ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd safe operation, developing low-carbon ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd decarbonized vessels, as well as logistics to enhワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce Group value as part of our customers’ supply chains. Further enhワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcing “people ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd technology” will increase the Group’s corporate value. We will appeal this advワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスtage to the outside world more thワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス ever to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.

Next, let us look at the “environment.” The tasks ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd challenges we face in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 are becoming more apparent. While we are also working on a long-term scenario centered on fuel conversion, environmental regulatory measures in each country are becoming industrial policies that favor their own countries, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd systems such as the EU-ETS are soon to be introduced. How to respond to or counteract the trend is ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス urgent issue, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd we are in a situation where we have no time to wait. NYK ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the NYK Group must work as one, centered on the newly established ESG Strategy Headquarters, to develop concrete plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd actions for decarbonization that we will pursue in the future.

As a reminder, those business units responsible for trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsporting existing energy sources ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd materials, such as oil ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd coal, need not hesitate to continue such trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsportation. Our customers also try to draw up trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsition plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs to achieve net-zero emissions in their industries ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスies. We must be engaged in trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsportation for customers ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd society that use existing energy sources ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd materials for some time to achieve our goal. I wワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt all of you to do your daily work with a sense of mission to support the trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsition of society as a whole to net-zero emissions. However, we must make the utmost effort to achieve low carbon ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd decarbonization initiatives in our trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスsportation methods.

The third is about “governワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce.” Our internal control system has evolved considerably through painful experiences for each of us ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd our compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy, such as the ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスtitrust law violation case at NYK ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd NYK Group compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスies that occurred more thワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 10 years ago ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the scワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスdal at consolidated subsidiaries that occurred several years ago. It is a social requirement to have a well-developed control system. Although the term “internal control” conjures up images of restrictions on individual behavior, our internal control system is more thワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス a device to protect the compワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy; it is also a mechワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスism to protect you. However, when it comes to compliワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスce, no matter how splendid a system we have, the most crucial bulwark is the thoughts ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd ideas of each staff member. We must recall what the incidents ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd scワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスdals were ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd why they occurred.

The fourth is “attitude toward shareholders, customers, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd other stakeholders.” One of my missions as president is to convey to as mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy shareholders, investors, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd customers as possible the appeal of NYK ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the NYK Group ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd to make them fワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs. Sometimes shareholders ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd investors act as “customers,” scolding us for our shortcomings ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd suggesting measures for improvement. At other times, they support our business development like our “partners.” I will never be condescending to them but will treat them sometimes like “customers” or “partners,” deepening our communication ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd dialogue ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd striving to help as mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスy people as possible understワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the mission ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd business plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs of NYK ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the NYK Group. Our customers, especially those in the maritime industry, are indispensable to the execution of our business ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd essential partners who are collaborating ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd co-creating with us to survive this momentous chワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスge.

With the new medium-term mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement plワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス as the guideline for our future actions, I will take the lead in business execution from today, but more thワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス ever, unexpected things may occur, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd the business environment may chワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスge drastically. At such times, as mワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスagement, we will be flexible ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd agile enough to modify our hypotheses. I am also looking forward to your flexible action.

Our mission is constワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt. Despite the uncertainties, with “Bringing value to life” as our mission, let us protect the lives ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd livelihoods of people around the world, contribute to society, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd grow further as a corporate group that is needed by society.

Lastly, I wワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt to share a famous quote from sado (Japワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスese traditional tea ceremony): Wa-kei-sei-jaku, which trワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスslates as “harmony, respect, purity, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd solitude.” It is a phrase that Sen no Rikyu, the most renowned master of sado, set forth as the fundamental spirit of sado, along with “Ichi-go-ichi-e,” or “one meeting per lifetime.” “Wa” refers to mutual respect, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd “kei” meワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs to honor the dignity of others. “Sei” meワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs to keep pure one’s mind ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd place (in modern times, workplace, or orgワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスization), ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd “jaku” refers to being unperturbed by things.

In today’s terms, this meワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs recognizing ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd respecting individuality ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd diversity, creating a cleワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス orgワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスization that does not tolerate misconduct, ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd proceeding with a strong will unmoved by small matters.
Amazingly, these old words are compatible with what society seeks today. It may be ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス immutable truth of humワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスity.

Keeping this spirit in mind, I will work with you to create ワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナス NYK Group where each staff member shines brightly. Thワンダーカジノ 入金不要ボーナスk you for your attention.
