Sharing speciﬁc guidelines and values
strengthens the organization andaccelerates the speed of businessOur contribution to society is thecreation of a “stage” on which our
employees can play an active role inserving customers

What are the things you value most as a executive?
It is essential for executives to indicate goals to employees and to
motivate them to move forward in the same direction. If you compare it
to mountain climbing, the role of the executive is not simply to say,"Let's climb that mountain," but to choose a speciﬁc route and makeall the necessary preparations. Videos are very eﬀective in making
employees understand and share a common direction. By visualizing
things in a video, the future takes on a precise shape, and employees
get excited and become passionate about the work ahead.
For employees to move in the same direction, it is critical that theyshare the same fundamental values. Our company has summarized ourvalues in the “KOMATSU Way” standards. We also refer to the"SLQDC" formula to indicate the order of priorities when thinking
about projects and making decisions. The most important letter here is“S” (safety and health). Then we have “L” (legal compliance andenvironment), “Q” (quality and reliability), “D” (timing), and ﬁnally, “C”(costs). This order makes it clear that we prioritize our responsibilities
to employees, society, and customers.
Corporate management boils down to employees. When employees
share the same values and strive towards the same goals, which are inline with the management's guidelines, the organization will become
more robust, and the speed of business will become much faster.

What do you expect from theJAPAN MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION（JMA）?
I am particularly interested in three areas, "education/training,""specialized exhibitions," and "audits/certiﬁcation," each of which isimportant. Today companies face a mountain of things to do, from DX
to GX to work style reform and so on, and there are no correct
answers. Creating opportunities to share the initiatives taken by othercompanies is exceptionally valuable. As we are in a period of epochal
changes. I would like to ask the JMA to incorporate a wide range of
topics into its education and training projects. I also believe thatspecialized exhibitions are an opportunity to showcase Japan's"national strengths." The JMA holds the largest exhibition in Asia. I
want people from all over Asia to visit Japanese exhibitions. I hope thenumber of foreign visitors to Japan will increase, MICE will become
more popular, and tourism and student exchanges will pick up
momentum.

● Director

Tetsuji Ohashi
Chairman of the Board

Komatsu Ltd.

Our “2036 Medium- to Long-Term Management Plan” purports tocreate an ideal cycle in which, if we can improve service levels while
increasing employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction will thenincrease, which will lead to higher earnings which in turn can beinvested in hardware and human resources, thus further increasing
employee satisfaction and service levels. Our mission is therefore tomeet the expectations of all stakeholders by activating this cycle andkeeping it going. In FY2026 we will open a new hotel in Kyoto, and wewill also start planning the rebuilding of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo,
scheduled to be completed in FY2036, so as to prepare a “stage” onwhich the next generation of hotel workers can greet and welcome
guests enthusiastically. In the future, the most important point will bestrengthening human resource training while promoting theselarge-scale projects.

● Director

Hideya Sadayasu
President

Imperial Hotel, Ltd.

Eiichi Shibusawa, the ﬁrst president of Imperial Hotel, left us these
meaningful words: "serving and ensuring the satisfaction of guests
from all over the world is an important job that beneﬁts the nation too,"
indicating the goal of combining ethics with economics. This spirit isreﬂected in our corporate philosophy which states: "by providing thebest services and products, we contribute to the development of theinternational community the enrichment of people's lives and theimprovement of culture." We will continue to work with the belief that
our role in society is not to provide superﬁcial hospitality, but tofundamentally improve service for the sake of our customers; this is
the Imperial Hotel's spirit of hospitality.

What are your expectations with regard to theJAPAN MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (JMA)?
Japan was ranked ﬁrst in the 2021 Travel and Tourism Development
Index Report made public at the World Economic Forum (Davos
Meeting). This is proof that people around the world are strongly
attracted to Japan as a travel destination, and if the public and private
sectors can work together to improve tourism-related initiatives, thenumber of foreign tourists visiting Japan will surely increase. I hopethat, as part of its activities, the JMA will actively disseminate
information about the tourism industry, that its eﬀorts will reach a wide
range of people and that the number of people who take interest in thisindustry will increase.

Please tell us about your current position and role,

The Teijin Group has several business domains. I was involved in twoof our core businesses, the materials and healthcare businesses.
Currently, as Chairperson, Member of the Board who is not directly
involved in execution, I am responsible for monitoring, supervising andoﬀering advice to corporate executives, as well as acting as aninterface between external directors and internal executives.

TEIJIN LIMITEDIn January this year, Nippon Express shifted to a holding company

I hold the position of its Chairman. We have introduced a new groupbrand, "NX", to form the "NX Group", and we are driving the group's
collective strength to become a "logistics company with a presence inthe global market", as announced in our long-term vision.

● Director

Kenji Watanabe
ChairmanNIPPON EXPRESSHOLDINGS, INC

What are the things that you value as a executive?
Please tell us about your initiatives and ideas forthe sustainable development of the company.
Listed companies like us are required to provide the value that society
demands and to optimize happiness and satisfaction of various
stakeholders. It can be said that the sustainable development of acompany depends on how it manages to oﬀer solutions to the social
issues, using its creative resources. To that end, it is essential topredict how the society will dramatically change in the future, and toenvision how companies will be able to provide unique value to solve
social issues. Also, to realize that vision, I believe it is important tomake eﬀective use of human resources as an organizational
opportunity for innovation and D&I.

What are the things that you value as an executive?
In order to continue to provide unique value for the future, I believethat it is important to envision the society of the future and ﬁrmly
decide the direction of the company, and then steer all employees inthe same direction over the medium to long term. To achieve that,what is required are "cognitive skills and business agility" to accurately
perceive the situation in this rapidly changing society and respond in atimely fashion. Talking to people who have diﬀerent viewpoints andlistening to a variety of opinions, and then after correctly assessing thesituation, quickly take an action even if you are only proceeding by trial
and error. I believe that such attempts will lead to creating andproviding innovative value for the society. Proceeding by trial and error
may require certain risk taking, however I believe that a corporate
culture that will not view a risk-taking attempt as a failure is what isrequired now.

26

Since joining the company in 1972, I have realized in numerous
occasions that the "power of people" in the ﬁeld is what supports
logistics. When you put together all that has been created by repeatedtrial and error and through ingenuity by each and every person in theﬁeld, that represents the "strength of the workplace," a true asset ofour company. Logistics is not only about moving goods around, it also
serves to increase the value of goods by transporting them to diﬀerent
places and by connecting businesses with other businesses and people
with other people and it sustains the development of the economy andsociety. It's an important job because if nobody did it, economical andsocial activities would come to a stop. I am convinced that everything
starts with creating a strong workplace by nurturing professionals who
can keep the logistics cycle moving.

Please tell us about your initiatives and ideas forthe sustainable development of the company.
The NX Group's corporate philosophy is to contribute to society
through logistics and to create a prosperous future. This is thephilosophy we inherited from our predecessors, and it also happens to
be in line with the principles of sustainability and ESG. If the
distribution system stops, the economy and daily social activities will
come to a standstill, and our mission is to never let the ﬂow of things
stop. We believe that focusing the strengths of each individual to ﬁnd
the best way to do things and achieving a sustainable logistics system
will lead to the development of our company and to the creation of aprosperous and sustainable society.

Nurturing companies and people andmaximizing value creation by openly
learning from each other beyond theboundaries of industries and companies

We need to transcend individual roles
and business ﬁelds in order to develop
business through our collective power.
Please tell us about your current position and role,
as well as the work you have been in charge of in
the past.

What are some of the activities that the Human
Resources and Education Department Board of
Councilors is involved in?
The Human Resources and Education Department Board of Councilors iswhere executives in charge of human resources at diﬀerent companies
gather to discuss on a continuous base how to link the growth ofindividuals to the growth of the company. In Japan, where management
resources are limited, an important topic of discussion is how to balancemaximizing the creation of corporate value from human capital, which
has a great deal of potential, with, at the same time, ensuring that theindividuals who work there continue to grow. At meetings of the Board of
Councilors we exchange information on each companyʼs policies andchallenges in dealing with this issue and hold multifaceted discussions.
I think it is extremely valuable to discuss and share information about thechallenges faced, and the corrective measures taken, by humanresources managers of companies that support the Japanese economy.
What I realize at each discussion is that there are many “common points”
that transcend the boundaries between industries and companies. I thinkthat mutually sharing our best practices with each other will help theJapanese business community as a whole further evolve and lead togeneral improvement.

Do you think that human capital management
should be considered a social issue?
Also, what are your expectations with regard to theJAPAN MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION（JMA）?
In order to achieve corporate growth and individual growth at the sametime, each company can obviously work independently, but there arelimits to this approach. I believe it is necessary for society as a whole todiscuss people's attitude towards their jobs, the ideal form of
employment as well as the kind of school education that precedes
employment. In order to steer society in such a direction, we needcross-sectoral discussions that transcend companiesʼ boundaries, and I
have very high expectations for the Board of Councilors, and for the JMA,
as bodies where to raise issues and make proposals that lead to reforms.
I would like for the Human Resources and Education Department Board of
Councilors to continue to create opportunities for coming into contact with
diﬀerent information and initiatives, and to serve as a “place of learning”
where participating companies can share common issues, exchange
opinions openly and learn from diﬀerent views.

I served as executive oﬃcer in charge of technology and as CTO since 2011, fora total of 8 years, but at the moment I am in charge of government and external
relations and I serve as the representative in Tokyo for our entire group.
"Government and External" in "government and external relations" refers to thethree entities of political world, public oﬃces and business communities and myrole is to communicate with government agencies and interface with business
communities. I think my assigned role consists in reﬂecting on how we should
act so as to improve not only the Group but also Japan as a whole, and take therequired actions, bringing to bear my experience as someone who has an overall
view of our entire group, which encompasses a wide range of business ﬁelds.

As someone in charge of government and external
relations what are your thoughts on public-private
partnerships?

● Chairman of theDevelopment andTechnology Department
Board of Councilors

Yoshiyuki Miyabe
Executive Vice President

Panasonic Holdings
Corporation

In Japan, both the public and private sectors have long shared the idea thatindustry would grow better if it was left to the private sector. However, insectors that require large-scale investment, like EVs and carbon neutrality, it isdiﬃcult for the private sector alone to win out against international competition.
In order for Japan to gain an edge in areas like these, where global competitionis only going to intensify, I believe that the time has come for Japan to steer
both the public and the private sector in the same direction.

What do you think about the current role-speciﬁcformat of the Board of Councilors?
While it doesnʼt necessarily apply to all industrial sectors, it is generally diﬃcult
to overcome the current period of dramatic changes through a division of roles;
I would actually argue that it is necessary to review the division of roles format
itself. I ﬁnd it very signiﬁcant that the JAPAN MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION(JMA) has held discussions that transcend sectoral boundaries, and I for one
has learned a lot from them and I think that they have been beneﬁcial for ourcompanyʼs management. On the other hand, when trying to strengthen humanresources, discussing within individual roles will not get us very far. I think that,while making the most of the strengths of the current Board of Councilors, it isnecessary to consider creating opportunities for information sharing anddiscussions among members of the Board of Councilors. I think it would beeven better if we could, while taking advantage of the merits of the current
role-speciﬁc Board of Councilors meetings of the JMA, foster horizontal
cooperation (by creating forums for appropriate information sharing anddiscussion between the Board of Councilors meetings).

Cross-sectoral collaboration oﬀers
solutions for carbon neutrality andproduction challenges

The ability to read key informationfrom data and discussing issues withpeople from various sectors are crucial
in marketing

What kind of activities does the Production
Department Board of Councilors engage in?
Over the past few years, there have been major, rapid changes in theenvironment around us, and we have had to not only deal with various
natural disasters and the Covid pandemic but also respond to challenges
such as the digital revolution and carbon neutrality. In a world that is
becoming increasingly unpredictable and uncertain, it is imperative that
manufacturing responds to changes in the environment. In particular,
taking measures to achieve carbon neutrality and resolving production
crises are vital issues that aﬀect all sectors. The Production Department
Board of Councilors has been visiting diﬀerent companies to learn about
their approaches to these two issues ﬁrst hand at work sites and has
been promoting activities to solve problems through collaboration rather
than competition.

How important do you think it is for companies in
diﬀerent industries to discuss issues common to
management (sectors/regions)?
Carbon neutrality, which is currently being addressed by the Board of
Councilors, is an issue that aﬀects all industrial sectors as well as local
communities. It involves a wide range of issues that need to beaddressed but, as a ﬁrst step, we believe that itʼs important to promotemutual understanding through joint discussions with relevant companies
including those in diﬀerent industries, regardless of whether they are"producers" or "users" of electricity, as well as the government. Throughsuch eﬀorts, I believe that we can promote investment in carbon
neutrality and create a framework for circulating the beneﬁcial eﬀects
throughout a region.

Please tell us about the topics you would like theBoard of Councilors to address in the future.
What we, the Production Department Board of Councilors, need to workon at the moment are initiatives for strengthening Japan's manufacturingsystem. While businesses around the world are no longer willing to pay
money for convenience, the added value of meaningful products isuniversally recognized, and the meaning of "high quality-low cost" ischanging. To deal with these issues, I believe that we must start
discussing topics that will bring about a change in the way we think. This
includes, for example, the modalities of manufacturing that will be
required in the future. The Japan Management Association has Boards ofCouncilors involved in a wide range of ﬁelds, and I look forward to thechance to interact with other councils and attend lectures.

What do you think is important in order to optimize

The use of digital technology is necessary for implementing
digitalization, and thanks to technological advancements it has now
become possible to collect information at a fairly high speed. However,in marketing, it is equally important to be able to read and analyze theinformation and discern how to use it. Statistical knowledge is also
necessary, and it is important to constantly keep on learning.

What are some of the activities that the Marketing
Department Board of Councilors is involved in?
The Marketing Department Board of Councilors set up two
subcommittees last year. We resorted to scenario planning to analyze
the impact of the covid pandemic and the conﬂict between the UnitedStates and China, and also to examine the issue of "food and regional
revitalization." Food and regional revitalization is a theme thatoriginated from discussions on how the power of marketing, as well as
marketing concepts and methods, can be used to solve social issues.
The various opinions oﬀered by councilors in the course of the
discussion were presented at a stage seminar during FOODEX JAPAN2022.

Denji Sakurai

Nippon Information

What do you think of discussing issues common to
management functions (divisions/regions) withcompanies active in diﬀerent sectors?
For example, if discussions on food and regional revitalization wereconducted only by people in the food industry we could go into a lot of
detail, but the discussions would probably remain within theboundaries of our whatʼs considered common sense in our sector. I
believe that it was precisely thanks to the participation of members
from diﬀerent sectors, like the IT industry and parts manufacturers,
that we were able to take a multifaceted look at food and come up withvarious ideas that transcend sectoral boundaries. Opinions from people
in diﬀerent industries and with diﬀerent specializations are very
important, and by mutually sharing experiences and knowledge we cansolve marketing problems. I believe that such cross-sectoral sharing of
knowledge is extremely useful wherever executive-level people gather,for example in the Boards of Councilors.

What are some of the activities that the Chubu

positions that I hold to this day. I currently serve as Vice President of
the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition and President of
the Osaka Athletics.

Chubu Region Board of Councilors, of which Iʼm the chairman, is
attended by companies in the Chubu region active in the food, energy,
and processing sectors as well as the automobile sector, to which ourcompany belongs. At the Board of Councilors meetings, selected young
employees from each company form teams across sectoral boundaries
to discuss common themes like "manufacturing" and "human resource
development" and exchange opinions.

● Chairmanof the Kansai Region
Board of Councilors

Masayoshi Matsumoto

What do you think of discussing issues common to
management functions (divisions/regions) withcompanies active in diﬀerent sectors?
The Kansai Region Board of Councilors is mainly composed of members
from the Kansai region who are active in the ﬁelds of human resources
development and manufacturing technology, including human resources
and production technology. We exchange opinions on the association's
activities and subcommittee activities in the Kansai region, we listen toeach company's thoughts on management issues, and then selectcertain themes for further discussion in the subcommittees. Corporate
management issues tend to share many similarities in spite oforiginating in diﬀerent industries, and a free exchange of opinions
between companies may help solve them. Going forward, the Board of
Councilors is planning to discuss "human resource development" toensure the active participation of diverse human resources, and I lookforward to seeing what kind of output can be obtained from exchanges
that transcend sectoral boundaries. Also, with the Japan Association forthe 2025 World Exposition coming up, I would like to discuss ways tomotivate the Kansai region to work together towards this event.

Tell us about the topics you would like the Board of
Councilors to address in the future.
In May of this year, Sumitomo Electric, where I serve as chairman,
formulated its long-term vision, the "Sumitomo Electric Group 2030
Vision," which identiﬁed maximizing the individual characteristics andabilities of our diverse human resources within the Group as amanagement issue. I believe that the active participation of diverse
human resources is also an important management issue for many of
the companies participating in the Board of Councilors, and I would
like for participating companies to introduce their initiatives in theseareas and to exchange opinions with them.
