2030 VISION
People, leveraging
technology to reachfor new heights

In our world that is changing at a dizzying pace, Konoike has set its goals for the future. These goals areallowing all of the people involved with our work sites to pursue new heights and ensuring that eachone of them has the ability to find the happiness they desire. Konoike respects diversity and seeks tocreate new businesses born from unique ideas, by forming flexible connections both vertically andhorizontally. We will improve our society and the world by anticipating customer and social needs.

Technology is the key needed to make all of this possible. But our goals do not include the simple pursuitof technology for its own sake. From the Konoike Philosophy of “humanity” and “relationships”, our aim
is to skillfully incorporate the latest technologies and further refine the company based on the Konoike
spirit. The next stage of Konoike awaits—one where we will allow everyone around us to shine brightly.

Konoike’s unwavering origins:
Pioneering DNA
Konoike’s founder, Chujiro Konoike, was born in 1852 in what is now Denpo,
Konohana ward in the city of Osaka. He inherited a shipping agency from hisfather, and ran shipping operations while getting started with a businessthat supplied workers for civil engineering and construction sites as well as
to the manufacturing industry. In 1880, he started a business operating
under the name Konoike Gumi. As a measure to control flooding in the Yodo
River drainage basin, which was repeatedly beset by the problem, plans
were drawn up to provide construction to improve the Yodo River under the

Kinki Regional Development Bureau Yodogawa River Officedirect control of the government, and Chujiro was selected from among
many to handle this effort. Chujiro was contracted to provide construction
for a zone ranging about 16 km. He was able to devote considerable levels of
manpower to the effort, demonstrating his natural leadership of the humanspirit based on his many years of building relationships and trust. The
project began in 1989, and after five years, the construction work to dig the
new Yodo River was completed. The region that had to contend with flooding
disasters included several locations that form the current heart of Osaka,

that this project laid the foundation for Osaka’s prosperity in the Meiji era
onwards. In Himeshima-so, where Chujiro spent his later years, thispioneering DNA lives on even now.

Response to changing times
Responding rapidly to the significant changes occurring around the world is
one aspect of Konoike’s pioneering DNA. We are working to reform societal
infrastructure step-by-step with an accurate understanding of the directionof changes. Our work can essentially be described as definitively creating
new value for a world subject to rapid and significant change. Take, forinstance, our initiatives aimed at achieving a sustainable society in the
future. Our ef for ts are ongoing and extend to many dif ferent areas,
including the contribution we make through our business and our uniqueconsideration for the environment. One example of this is “modal shift.” Thisinitiative is an essential component of next-generation logistics and involves
a pivot from transporting goods over land, such as through the use of trucks
and other automobiles, to using rail or sea transport, which have a smaller
environmental impact. The KONOIKE Group is actively promoting this kind ofmodal shift primarily based out of Tokyo Railgate, and has achieved a
reduction in annual CO2 emissions of approximately 5,000 tons. Moreover,Tokyo Railgate is a key site for promoting theKonoike also began operating a rail container business at an early stage in

Konoike wants to be a company where employees can spend exciting
moments day by day and one where they can find continuous grow thopportunities. Our goal for the future of Konoike is to be a place where adiversity of people can gather. Let’s provide a space where the strengths
and advantages of each person can shine through, and create a new path.
Even small feelings of growth for a single person can carr y enormous
power when aggregated over the entire group. These can find form in theskills of a craftsperson that supports a work site. Or they might be thesupport roles that back up that craftsperson.
Each of our employees is encouraged to believe in their individual strengths
as they contribute to the work that gets done each day in the workplace. The
confidence that builds, little by little, from people exhibiting their strengths
is linked to our effor ts to overcome the next challenge that we face,
whatever that might be. Continuing to confront challenges is connected to
the realization of our dreams. When an employee has a smile on their face,it creates a smile for someone else out there in the world, too. A company

Technological innovation
At Konoike, when we talk about “technology,” we don’t simply mean having
the latest technologies. Throughout the company, we can find individual
technical skills and valuable experience built up over many years, withthese qualities held by professionals on-site. This is what supports thestrengths of the Konoike brand: the safety and peace of mind of which weare so proud. By taking this broadly defined concept of technical skill todevelop shared assets that anyone can use, we create new value that
supports the future of society. That’s right, “People, leveraging technology
to reach for new height s” is not a simple concept where the l atest
technologies change with respect to people. Rather, the phrase alludes to
how we use tools in the form of technology to further refine the Konoike
spirit, which has been cultivated over a long period of time at the company,

the way to happiness for all.

Treasuring both humanity and relationships,
innovating at the foundations of society, andcreating new value
Our mission as the KONOIKE Group is a general philosophy that has been present since thecompany’s founding over 140 years ago. Even in the future, it will remain unchanged.
However, the world we live in is undergoing a massive transformation, one that requires changes
from fundamental values in both the areas of corporate economic activity and the lifestyles ofindividual employees. Among these significant waves, in order to contribute to innovations in thesocial infrastructure of the next generation, we must make these changes our own. The 2030
Vision has been formulated as a policy for the steps each of us takes into the future.
“Technology” is nothing more than one characteristic of change. And the strengths that each oneof us possesses are the tools that lead to more appealing outcomes. As a company, let’s refine
the pioneering DNA of which we are so proud, and anticipate the pain points of our customers
and society. By resolving these problems one by one, we make both Japan and the world at large
better places to be. Making it possible for each individual to shine brightly. Tomorrow, let’s takeone more amazing step.
