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.
In view of the Group’s rapidly changing business environment, we have decided to focus on the following three key pillars as the core of our management in the FY2026 medium-term management plan.
1. Deepening our city gas and LPG business by driving market expansion and creating added value
We will continue to strive to reduce CO2 emissions through the proactive and efficient use of gas (natural gas and LP gas), focusing on the transition of fuels away from heavy oil and coal. At the same time, we will tackle the challenge of expanding the market by providing comprehensive energy services, including electric power, that facilitate comfortable lifestyles for our customers and help optimize business operations.
2. Expanding our electric power business and inspiring fresh innovation
We aim to inspire innovation that helps realize a sustainable future by expanding “Konomachi Denki” across a wider service area, enhancing price menus and peripheral services, and developing renewable energy power sources.
3. Strengthening our management foundation
Our aim is to improve the value of our human capital by promoting stronger engagement and nurturing personnel with digital transformation (DX) skills. At the same time, we intend to build a resilient business portfolio by implementing reforms designed to comprehensively optimize Group functions and make existing operations more sophisticated and efficient, and by creating new business segments.
The Hiroshima Gas Group is united in its efforts to steadily implement the various measures and initiatives laid out in the medium-term management plan and bring them to fruition.
In the electric power business in particular, we will work to expand Konomachi Denki sales and develop renewable energy power sources in order to nurture a new pillar business alongside our city gas and LPG business.
Going forward, we will strive to realize the Hiroshima Gas Group 2030 Vision while maintaining our unfailing commitment to ensuring stable energy supplies and safety, and we will continue to promote the sustainable growth and development of the Group in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
We strongly believe that satisfying the expectations of our customers, local communities, and shareholders in this way will help increase the corporate value of the Hiroshima Gas Group, which in turn will encourage the development of local communities and greater happiness among Group officers and employees.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
April 2026
President Tomohiko Nakagawa
