Vision and Four-Year Business Plan
Driving Innovative Impact 2030
The Daifuku Group has formulated our long-term vision for 2030 showing our strong desire to “achieve the economic and social values we aim for by strengthening our initiatives based on new ideas with an eye on the future and creating innovative impact on our stakeholders.” We have set the four-year business plan goals (from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027) as a midpoint of our overall goals for 2030.
2030 vision and management targets for 2027
Priority framework
To realize economic and social value, we have established priority framework with the following domains, taking into consideration the challenges from the Value Transformation 2023 plan, the business environment, and social sustainability.
In our four-year business plan for 2027, we will accelerate growth by adding 80 billion yen of strategic investment to the investment results of the previous business plan. In addition, we will flexibly make management decisions to achieve growth even when the amount of investment exceeds the strategic investment limit.
Shareholder return policy
We adopt a performance-based policy for dividends from surplus based on consolidated net income. Based on the policy, we will appropriate the remaining surplus to invest in future growth. The consolidated dividend payout ratio under our four-year business plan for 2027 is targeted at 35% or more for each fiscal year.
