Long description

Our business strategy targeting a risk-adjusted return ratio of 7.5% is comprised of two basic elements. Each of the nine Business Units will build a strong, broadly-based business portfolio, selecting promising business lines and concentrating resources in them. At the same time, management will allocate resources to strategic business areas and regions from the perspective of the whole Group.
Under the AA Plan, each Business Unit will expand businesses that leverage our integrated corporate strength by promoting strategic alliances, developing multifaceted businesses with partners, expanding logistics activities, and utilizing our financing capabilities. We will put management resources in strategic areas such as media and information, supermarkets, and mineral resource development businesses.
In addition, we will commit ourselves to identifying and commercializing new technologies to further extend our business frontier, focusing on medicine and biotechnology, nanotechnology, clean energy, and network-related information technologies.
Geographically, China will be positioned as our chief strategic region both as a production base and an expanding market. In China, we are focusing on building our own logistics networks and partnering with leading local firms in order to develop globally-based businesses there.
We will also focus on Russia as a promising market, with its macroeconomic growth stabilizing and its business infrastructure rapidly developing. We are promoting businesses in line with Russia's potential as a major supplier of natural resources, and its demands for industrial facility replacement and social infrastructure development in areas such as telecommunications services.
In the Middle East, we will devote ourselves to projects mainly in water- and energyrelated areas in response to the immediate need to redevelop industrial infrastructures as populations grow and get younger, urbanization advances and consumer markets expand.
In Iraq, we hope to help stabilize the lives of the people there. We have set up a company-wide task force not only to consider reconstruction-related businesses but also to discuss building close and broad relationships with the country after its recovery.
