In order to accelerate the Company's corporate strategy to provide Integrated Solutions to address social challenges in the four fields of Life, Industry, Infrastructure and Mobility, uniting all the capabilities inside and outside of the Group, as well as to develop and drive business strategies with company-wide and medium- to long-term perspectives by maintaining a bird's-eye view on a wide range of business domains, from FY2022, the Company will assign new Business Area (BA) Owner responsibilities to Executive Officers, who will oversee multiple interconnected business groups with a social challenge as the focal point.
BA Owners will, from a company-wide perspective, facilitate the acceleration of M&As and business restructuring in business groups within their purview. Moreover, they will drive the creation of new businesses, enhancement of technological and business fields, and strategic shifting of resources with a bird's-eye view of their respective BA. Furthermore, the Company will drive dynamic and speedy management reforms that break free from the conventional business group structure, such as BA Owners jointly creating synergies across the boundaries of BAs with a company-wide perspective.
In corporate divisions, the Company will expand the chief officer structure to clarify their roles by primary function. Swiftly grasping various changes in the environment surrounding the business, such as digital transformation (DX), carbon neutrality and geopolitical risks, they will seek to develop company-wide strategies, such as sustainability strategies, to be implemented across the boundaries of BAs to create both social and economic values, and to enhance their functions to support each BA.
The relationship between business areas and business groups in FY2022 will be as follows and the attached:
[Infrastructure BA]
Infrastructure BA will help building more resilient and safe social infrastructure systems by proposing a wide range of solutions that leverage digital engineering technologies the Company has accumulated.
[Industry and Mobility BA]

[Life BA]
Life BA will help creating an enriched sustainable living by offering comfortable and convenient spaces for a wide range of communities from personal to public, unconstrained by individual business domains such as elevators and HVAC systems.
