President and Representative Director
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support.
Since our founding in 1899, we have built strong and lasting relationships with our customers while expanding our shipping and real estate businesses. For more than 125 years, we have continued to grow as an independent corporate group by adapting to changing times and creating value through our businesses.
Today, the business environment surrounding the IINO Group is changing rapidly. In the shipping business, geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, are reshaping global maritime trade, while rising inflation has driven up shipbuilding costs and accelerated the need for investment in next-generation vessels to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the real estate business, evolving lifestyles and changing societal values are transforming customer expectations and market demand. Responding appropriately to these changes is essential for our continued growth. Guided by IINO VISION, the vision set forth in our Medium-Term Management Plan, we will continue to create both economic and social value while enhancing our corporate value over the long term.
Safety is the foundation of our business. On this foundation, we encourage every employee to respond proactively to changes in the business environment and to take action with initiative and responsibility. We are also committed to attracting and developing diverse talent and fostering a workplace where our people can grow and perform to their full potential. Through the sustainable growth of both our people and our businesses, we will continue to earn the trust of our stakeholders and contribute to society. The IINO Group will continue to evolve in response to the changing needs of society while strengthening its competitiveness and creating sustainable corporate value.
We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding and support.
