During the fiscal year under review, the economy followed a moderate recovery trend, supported by improvements in the employment and income environment. However, due to factors such as trends in U.S. trade and economic policies and rising geopolitical risks, including the situation in the Middle East, the economy continues to face downside risks amid rising prices, persistently high energy and raw material prices and exchange rates at a weak yen level. As a result, the outlook remains uncertain.
 
While facing this challenging environment, the Seiren Group is striving to meet the ever-changing needs of customers while securing stable earnings and achieving sustainable growth, guided by its medium-term aspiration, “Challenge ourselves to unlock hidden possibilities!” To accomplish this, the Group is carrying out a business strategy focused on innovation and customer development, and on rebuilding its corporate culture. At the same time, it is also working to strengthen corporate culture by continuing to pursue management practices aimed at increasing non-financial value, including the potential of its capabilities in talent, development, and responsiveness to changes in the environment.
