Management Message

The Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group conducts its business in six core segments—Urban Transportation, Real Estate, Entertainment, Information and Communication Technology, Travel, and International Transportation—guided by its mission: By delivering “Safety and Comfort” and “Dreams and Excitement,” we create satisfaction among our customers and contribute to society.
The Group has implemented a Medium-Term Management Plan for FY2023 through FY2026, and our initiatives are progressing smoothly. However, the pace of change in the environment surrounding the Group has accelerated beyond our initial anticipation, and, at the same time, expectations and demands from stakeholders are growing in various ways. These changes are expected to continue gaining momentum.
In response, we have refined our “Long-Term Vision: Toward 2040,” originally announced in May 2022, and formulated a new “Long-Term Management Plan” to bridge the gap between the future vision we want to achieve and our current state.
Building on the value we have delivered over the years, we will continue uniting as a Group to create new value and bring new sources of satisfaction to our customers across every area of our business. In particular, along our line-side areas —an especially important field for us— we remain committed to creating comfortable and attractive urban spaces, even amid changes such as rapid technological innovation and rising inbound demand. We also intend to expand this “community-building” approach on a global scale.
By offering sustainable, high-quality products and services and remaining a trusted choice for our customers, we aim to help create a society where everyone can live true to themselves and naturally make sustainable choices.
We have positioned the Group’s initiatives to achieve this future vision as the “Long-Term Management Plan.” By formulating strategies across business, finance, and human resources and strengthening group governance, we aim to achieve both sustainable medium- to long-term growth and improved capital efficiency.
Moving forward, our entire Group will continue working together to meet the expectations of all stakeholders and to remain a trusted and valued corporate group. We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.
