Message from the CEO
We are committed to helping create
a sustainable society through our business
in line with our management philosophy,
“Automation that Inspires.”
Based on our management philosophy, “Automation that Inspires,” the Daifuku Group aims to create a society in which people can live healthy and fulfilling lives through the material handling technology that we have cultivated over the years, such as with storage, transport, and sorting and picking.
Our three-year business plan, entitled Value Transformation 2023, and our Sustainability Action Plan were both launched in fiscal 2021 and concluded in fiscal 2023, and in May 2024 we announced our long-term vision, entitled Driving Innovative Impact 2030, and our four-year business plan for 2027. By envisioning the future of society and its challenges, we have set out our aspirations for 2030 in terms of both economic value and social value, and we have formulated a plan for the period up to 2027 focusing on the framework and priority topics we need to address in order to achieve these goals. We believe that our business activities inherently contribute to the creation of social value, including sustainability. We will therefore intensify our efforts to tackle various issues related to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and ESG (environment, social, and governance). Furthermore, in order for the Group to achieve sustainable growth, strengthening partnerships with our customers and suppliers will become increasingly crucial in addition to our internal initiatives.
We at the Group, based on our management philosophy and long-term vision, aim to achieve further growth through flexible and creative ideas that defy convention and the ability to reform existing frameworks. We will continue to remain united in our efforts to meet the challenges of the future.
August 2024
