Initiatives to Address New Domains

The Fuyo Lease Group carries out business portfolio management based on a zone management^* approach under which it has divided its business areas into four zones to advance the selection and concentration of business. We are also focused on exploring new value creation domains that extend beyond our existing business areas. These efforts seek to ensure sustainable growth for the Group.
We have recently participated in a new neighborhood creation project on the Kobe waterfront. We will continue to extensively explore potential markets that may reveal themselves in the future as well as potential issues of our customers, along with identifying new technologies and collaborative value creation opportunities as we collaborate with a wide range of partners. In this manner, we will pioneer new frontiers of value creation by connecting partners and serving as a platformer.

We will strive to enhance the appeal of Kobe through an urban development project that will generate a heightened level of daily excitement and energy. This project will involve the integrated management of a next-generation sports and entertainment arena that will provide a new viewing experience for visitors with a maximum capacity of around 10,000 people, and portside green spaces in the surrounding area, which have been certified as Japan's first Port Environment Development Plan.
The Fuyo Lease Group strongly endorses this project's vision. The Group will advance efforts to energize the community by creating urban vitality and enhancing community walkability centered on GLION ARENA KOBE, and take steps to collaboratively create new value with partners. We are committed to realizing the project's vision for "Creating the Future for the City Center and Waterfront Area."
