Message from
President and CEO

I believe fiscal year 2025 will be the launching point for further growth for our company.

The world is undergoing rapid change. Leadership transitions in major countries, increased geopolitical risks and supply chain complexities have brought about profound changes in the global order, and these changes are having a major impact on the global economy in the form of higher prices, inflation, and increased exchange rate volatility due to rising interest rates worldwide.

In Japan, the super-aging society, where approximately 20% of the population is over 75 years old, is causing labor shortages and increased social security costs. At the same time, the long-standing low-interest rate policy has been replaced by an opportunity to break out of the deflationary economy and shift to a new economic model where wage increases and capital investment will drive growth.

We are also witnessing the impactful transformation of business models with the disruption of existing industries due to advances in AI.

In such a drastically changing world how should we, as Mitsubishi Corporation, chart a path to growth? We must continue to create shared value by leveraging our market intelligence to develop businesses that extend beyond our existing business domains and optimize our business portfolio in line with the times. This approach to business development is in our DNA and I believe that by transforming our portfolio, we can meet the needs of a changing world.

This fiscal year marks the start of our new Corporate Strategy, which will build upon the achievements of Midterm Corporate Strategy 2024, incorporating specific measures for our company to grow to the next level.

Based on the spirit of our Three Corporate Principles, which we have upheld as our corporate philosophy since our founding, all of us at Mitsubishi Corporation are determined to achieve economic, social, and environmental value beyond the boundaries of our existing businesses.

We look forward to your continued support and collaboration in the year to come.
