Results of CSV management

  • Non-financial goals were set as indicators for practicing CSV. Overall, steady progress was made toward our targets for the final year of the medium-term management plan by steadily practicing CSV.

  • Initiatives to finance decarbonization promotion and save our customers' working hours led to expanding the customer base and capturing new sales opportunities. Fuyo Circular Economy Lease® and the region-specific healthcare fund launched jointly with other financial institutions.

    Our results are substantial, both in quality and quantity.

  • External ratings on these CSV practices that we have built up are steadily improving (see next page).

Changes in the management environment

  • The growth of global economy has remained resilient and business conditions in Japan have continued their moderate recovery

  • Society is increasingly demanding sustainability management that addresses climate change, investments in human capital, and other issues

  • Return to "a world with interest rates" following shift in monetary policy by the Bank of Japan (discontinuance of

    YCC / negative interest rates, etc.)

While we are not being forced to make fundamental shifts in our management strategy in order to continue practicing CSV management, the environment is changing more rapidly than we foresaw at the time it was formulated

At the time of plan formulation

As of 2025

Post-COVID-19 pandemic business environment characterized by extreme lack of visibility and high level of uncertainty

Requirement to respond to accelerating changes in the management environment, as well as develop the business in a way that takes various resources and geopolitical risks, etc. into account

Overarching trend toward decarbonized society Structural changes in society driven by declining birth rate

Instilling/expanding sustainability management Rising wages driven by structural labor shortages

and aging population in Japan, and population shifts overseas

Digitalization of society makes rapid progress, e.g. generative AI

Significant changes in values originating in the COVID-19

Financial/Non-financial Goals

  • Despite revising business strategy based on the recent management environment, no changes have been made to financial goals

  • In terms of non-financial goals, targets related to ECs/FCVs have been revised based on the environment for penetration of EVs

    (We have shifted from a "stock" target: percentage of company owned vehicles that are either EVs or FCVs - to a "flow"

    target: percentage of new contracts that are either EVs or FCVs)
