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 FY2025 medium-term management plan.
1. Deepening our city gas and LPG business
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 that facilitate even more comfortable lifestyles for our customers.
2. Inspiring innovation
We aim to inspire innovation that helps realize a sustainable future by expanding the provision of new price menus, “Konomachi Denki,” across a wider service area, expanding peripheral services, and developing renewable energy power sources.
3. Strengthening our management foundation
We will strive to steadily improve productivity throughout the Group by optimizing groupwide organizational functions and promoting digital transformation (DX). We will also implement operational reforms aimed at enhancing the value of our human capital, which is the source of our value creation.
The Hiroshima Gas Group is united in its efforts to steadily implement 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.
Furthermore, 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 2025
President Tomohiko Nakagawa
