CEO Message

We are Vision for 2031 to be
"Cho-WA: Creating a Future of Harmony."

President and Representative Director, CEO

I would like to express my appreciation to all our shareholders for the continued support they have shown us.
Thank you very much for your continued support.

In the spring of 2022, the Tsumura Group upheld its Corporate Purpose, "Lively Living for Everyone," as the Business Commitment we intend to ultimately achieve. Our founder 130 years ago aim was to create a meaningful business that contributes to the good of society. In this era of accelerating digital transformation, while carrying on this founding spirit, we also seek to achieve the well-being of each and every individual, as reflected in the Corporate Purpose.

Amid an extremely challenging business environment in fiscal 2023, as exemplified by exchange rate fluctuations and consistently high energy and raw material prices, we are steadily advancing our business plan for our domestic Kampo business by conducting information provision through MR activities and hybrid-type promotional activities. Furthermore, we are also striving to expand our China business with a focus on our crude drug platform.

At our second quarter financial results presentation in November 2023, we explained our intention to expand shareholder returns through dividends under the policy of implementing management with an even stronger awareness of the cost of shareholder equity. With the aim of fulfilling our Long-term Management Vision, we will clearly present our vision for 2031 and strive to enhance our corporate value over the medium and long term.

I look forward to the continued, unwavering support and cooperation of our shareholders.
