Daiwa House Industry Selected as 'DX Noteworthy Company 2026' for the First Time

Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd. was selected as a 'DX Noteworthy Company 2026' by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA) on April 10, 2026. This is the first time the company has received this recognition. The 'DX Noteworthy Company' program recognizes companies that are not yet 'DX Brands' but are implementing significant initiatives contributing to corporate value through digital transformation. Daiwa House has positioned DX as a key theme in its '7th Medium-Term Management Plan,' which began in fiscal year 2022. Their efforts include digitalizing the value chain and back office, fostering DX human resources, and promoting open innovation, such as an in-house entrepreneurship system. Since 2021, the company has published the 'Daiwa House Group DX Annual Report' to communicate its DX vision and strategies to stakeholders. Key evaluation points for their selection included: 1. Prioritizing DX in the 7th Medium-Term Management Plan and transparently disclosing initiatives internally and externally through integrated reports and the 'DX Annual Report.' 2. Developing DX human resources by defining a unique human resource system based on the 'Digital Skill Standards' set by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and IPA, aiming to improve DX literacy of all employees and foster specialized and proactive DX promotion personnel. 3. Establishing a unified 'Digital Strategy Department' in 2025 by integrating IT-related departments, building an organizational structure where business divisions, head office divisions, and group companies collectively promote DX. 4. Jointly developing 'AI Plan Concierge ver.1' with Akari Inc. in September 2025, an AI service that proposes plans for customers considering purchasing new detached houses. The Daiwa House Group plans to continue advancing DX in both business and infrastructure to create new value and reform business models.
