President's Message
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all our stakeholders for their ongoing understanding and support of the business activities of the Hiroshima Gas Group.
Based on our management philosophy of “striving to be a company trusted by the communities we serve,” the Hiroshima Gas Group has grown and prospered as a company that delivers energy in the form of gas and electricity in a safe, reliable, and stable manner.
Supported by the trust of local communities, we will continue our efforts to provide a variety of attractive services so that more communities and more customers will choose us.
With a new management team assuming office in April 2024, we have formulated and announced a medium-term management plan and business plan for FY2024. Even amid a rapidly changing business environment, our first intention is for the entire Group to unite as one to steadily execute and achieve the various actions and initiatives outlined in this medium-term management plan.
Specifically, we will mobilize our management resources on the following three points.
1. Deepen the city gas and LPG business
Aiming at carbon neutrality, we will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions with the proactive and efficient use of gas (natural gas and LP gas), focusing on the transition away from heavy oil and coal.
2. Inspire innovation
Through preparations for the introduction of e-methane, the electricity retail business, the development of renewable energy power sources, and other initiatives, we will inspire innovation that contributes to the realization of a sustainable future.
3. Strengthen management foundation
Through the promotion of digital transformation (DX), we will steadily pursue productivity improvements across the entire Group and implement operational reforms aimed at enhancing the value of our human capital, which is the source of our value creation.
Addressing these issues in a prompt and efficient manner, we will strive to realize the Hiroshima Gas Group 2030 Vision. Furthermore, with an aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, we will make step-by-step progress in various measures that will lead to the sustainable growth and development of the Group.
I am firmly convinced that this will lead to an increase in the corporate value of the Hiroshima Gas Group, which in turn will lead to meeting the expectations of our customers, local residents, and shareholders, as well as to the development of local communities and the happiness of all officers and employees of the Group.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
April 2024
President Tomohiko Nakagawa
