■ Comment from New President, Ren Yokoshima
I am Ren Yokoshima, and I have been appointed as president. I believe my mission is to build the foundation for the next generation of growth, inheriting the achievements of my father and current chairman, Taizo Yokoshima, who built 16 consecutive years of revenue growth, 14 consecutive years of profit growth, and 13 consecutive years of dividend increases.
In the coming era, efficiency and productivity improvement through the maximum utilization of digital technology are indispensable in the construction industry. Through our flagship service, "SAP," I hope to help solve the challenges faced by the construction industry and support productivity improvement, thereby contributing to supporting Japan's social infrastructure.
Furthermore, we will maintain a workplace environment where employees can work with pride and peace of mind, and pursue sustainable business operations.
We will cherish the trust relationships with all stakeholders, including our customers, business partners, and shareholders, and always strive for sincere responses. I sincerely ask for your continued support and encouragement.
