Promoting Diversity
SEIBU 
Thank you for your continued support and patronage to the Seibu Group.
The Seibu Group operates a wide range of businesses closely tied to the lives of our customers, centered on the Real Estate business, the Hotel and Leisure business, and the Urban Transportation and Regional business. As a corporate group engaged in a highly public business, we conduct our operations with “safety and security” as our highest priority.
The socioeconomic environment has been changing rapidly in recent years, making it extremely difficult to predict the future. The Seibu Group has set forth “Resilience & Sustainability: Creating Invaluable Space and Time, Ensuring Safety and Security” as the aspiration (outcome) of our long-term strategy looking ahead to fiscal year 2035, and we are steadily moving forward toward this goal. Furthermore, in addition to strengthening the Group’s foundation, we have proactively addressed the key themes that will contribute to growth: “decarbonization and effective use of resources”, “building towns people want to live in or visit”, and “creation of experience that simulates the five senses”, and have promoted value creation through the “character” of Seibu Group.
The Seibu Group is moving to the next stage to realize this aspiration (outcome). We have recently reviewed the roles and responsibilities in our executive operations and transitioned to a new organizational system in which NISHIYAMA Ryuichiro will serve as Representative Director, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead the Group.
As Chairman and Director, Chairman, I will continue to drive initiatives aimed at the sustainable growth of the Group as a whole from a long-term and strategic perspective. We will work as one Group to solve various social issues and enhance overall stakeholder satisfaction, thereby embodying our Group vision of “Smiles ahead”.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support for the Seibu Group.
Thank you for your continued support and patronage to the Seibu Group.
The Seibu Group has overcome unprecedented changes in the business environment and decisively implemented management reforms to lay the foundation for sustainable growth, thereby establishing a solid management foundation.
I have now assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in addition to my roles as President and Representative Director, President, to lead the Seibu Group to the next stage in realizing the “Seibu Group’s Long-Term Strategy to 2035” based on this foundation.
The key to our future growth lies in sustainable growth centered on the Real Estate business. We are actively pursuing a shift from our traditional model based on the premise of owning properties to one of growth through both owning assets as well as capital recycling. We are selecting candidates for securitization from all properties owned by the Seibu Group without exception, executing these plans decisively, and reinvesting the funds generated into redevelopment projects in central Tokyo and along the Seibu Railway lines, as well as resort development. In doing so, we will achieve an increase in net asset value.
Under this new system, we aim to further increase the corporate value of the Group by maximizing value creation in the Real Estate business and aggressively promoting capital recycling that leverages even stronger synergies with the Hotel and Leisure business and the Urban Transportation and Regional business.
In the Hotel and Leisure business, we will aim to become a “global hotel chain with its origins in Japan”. We will expand our network to establish a portfolio of 250 hotels in Japan and worldwide, creating experiences that move the senses of our customers. In the Urban Transportation and Regional business, while maintaining safe and stable transportation, we will enhance the value of the areas along our railway lines and promote digitization, such as “smart” station operations.
The current Medium-term Management Plan (FY2024-FY2026) is positioned as the “seed-planting period” in which we aim to generate 100 billion yen in operating profit in FY2035. We are now entering a critical phase as we finalize this plan and prepare for our next leap forward. As CEO and COO, I will personally take the lead to fully execute both offensive and defensive measures, including the highest level of capital investment in our history, and firmly put the Seibu Group on track for steady growth.
Together with all executives and employees, we will work to meet the expectations of all our stakeholders.
We look forward to your continued support.
