I would like to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to the Company's shareholders and investors for their ongoing support.
In fiscal 2024, from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, market conditions were unpredictable due to rising prices, complex geopolitical tensions stemming from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the impact of U.S. policy trends.
The Yasuda Logistics Group worked to achieve the goals of our medium-term management plan covering fiscal years 2022 to 2024, which was in its final year of implementation, and to establish a business structure capable of generating more growth.
In the Logistics business segment, the Group expanded the warehousing and delivery network by opening a pharmaceutical logistics center, Kazo Logistics Center (Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture) in April 2024, and the start of construction of a medical equipment logistics center, Haneda Logistics Center (tentative name) in Ota-ku, Tokyo, in January 2025. In addition, the Group promoted various advanced digitally transforming projects at warehouse sites utilizing AI, robotics, and other technologies. In the Real Estate business segment, we have promoted business expansion through redevelopment and value enhancement measures for real estate holdings, including the completion of a new facility, Yasuda Building No.8 (Medical Square Tsuruya-cho), near the west exit of Yokohama Station in December 2024.
Furthermore, the Group has determined high priority issues as material issues and has promoted sustainability-focused management in order to aim to solve both global environmental and social issues while achieving sustained business development.
In fiscal 2025, from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, in order to continue making progress under Long-Term Vision for 2030 as a roadmap for the Group leading up to 2030, we formulated and launched a new medium-term management plan covering the three-year period from fiscal 2025 to 2027. Based on its basic policy of “aiming to provide ‘YASDA Value’ that surpasses the expectations of society and our customers by evolving our cutting-edge technology, diverse human resources, and domestic and international network as the collective strength of the Yasuda Logistics Group”, we will continue to strive to further enhance corporate value.
As we move forward with these initiatives, we ask for the continued support of the Company’s shareholders and investors.
