From October 1, 2024, our company,Hitachi Zosen Corporation,has adopted a new company name, "Kanadevia Corporation". This is not just a name change, but a strong manifestation of our commitment to transformation. The competitiveness of society and businesses is rapidly changing, with more serious environmental issues, unstable international affairs, and aging and decline of population. In the modern society where the future is unpredictable, we recognize that digital "transformation" is essential for our sustained growth.
Under our long-term vision "2030 Vision" and medium-term management plan "Forward 25", we have set "Promotion of DX strategy" as a key measure, based on the three pillars of "Business DX", "Corporate DX", and "DX Platform". In "Business DX", we aim to increase the IoT rate of our products and services to 60% by 2025, and maximize customer value through the use of AI and ICT. In "Corporate DX", we aim to improve business efficiency through the active use of digital technologies and tools, and promote work style reform for all employees. In "DX Platform", we will focus on developing DX HR development in line with the "DX Human Resources Grand Design" established in 2023, and strengthening our three platforms, including EVOLIoT to promote the "Business DX" and "Corporate DX".
We had contributed to society through our strengths in manufacturing and engineering, with technology and sincerity. Going forward, it is important to create new customer value by incorporating digital technology into our products and services, while leveraging these strengths.
We will take the changes of the times as opportunities, and persistently make contributions to society through the creation of new customer value and by embracing the challenge of technological innovation.
