For the domestic market, in promoting PPPs we will strengthen partnerships
with companies having complementary relations through "further comprehensiveness + wider area management". In the European and North Americanmarkets, we plan to work on expanding business and creating synergies
centered around group companies and partner companies, promoting partnership strategies with M&A in mind. In other regions, we will promote PPPs
utilizing ODA, yen loans, etc., to meet local needs.

In the domestic market, the role of private enterprises is expected to grow as
the need for further comprehensiveness and wider area management of thewater and sewage businesses increases due to decreases in local government
revenues and shortages of engineers caused by a decreasing population. In
addition to the METAWATER Group's mechanical and electrical technology,
operation and maintenance know-how, and abundant experience withpublic-private partnerships, we are working on solving these issues by building
our own ICT platform and management system.
In the North American and European markets, we are developing businesses
centered around group companies and partner companies, while in markets such as
those of emerging countries we are promoting initiatives tailored to the local needs.
