Creating Business from Our Core Measurement and Analysis Technologies, and Creating Societal Issue-Driven Value
Tokyo, June 14, 2022 – Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") has formulated its 2024 Mid-Term Management Plan encompassing FY2022 through FY2024 ("2024 Mid-Term Plan").
In light of the changing world and the growing importance of resolving social issues, we clearly declared our intention to create societal issue-driven value through our “Sustainability 2030” declaration*1 based on the results of and issues stemming from the 2021 Mid-Term Management Plan. We formulated the 2024 Mid-Term Plan by using backcasting from our Stated Aims for 2030 for the Hitachi High-Tech Group, in order to devise the direction of our initiatives for the three years covered by the Plan. By steadily implementing the initiatives emphasized in our 2024 Mid-Term Plan, we will resolve social issues with our Observation, Measurement, and Analysis and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
The importance of solving social issues pertaining to the “environment, resilience, and safety & security,” such as the increasing threat of climate change, pandemics, and geopolitical risks, is growing more intense in the world. In light of these circumstances, we at Hitachi High-Tech believe that the need for our strengths in Observation, Measurement, and Analysis (measurement and analysis technologies) will continue growing in the future, and that these strengths will be indispensable to solving social issues. In order to clarify our future stated aims, and to create societal issue-driven value, as our social environments change and our business opportunities grow, we upheld our “Sustainability 2030” declaration, and formulated our 2024 Mid-Term Plan by using backcasting from our Stated Aims for 2030.
We formulated our 2024 Mid-Term Plan based on the following policies.
Creating societal issue-driven value through the “Sustainability 2030” declaration
- In order to solve social issues, we will create business from our core measurement and analysis technologies, and form portfolios of high-profit businesses -
Hitachi High-Tech has created new business and achieved growth by developing dedicated equipment designed specifically to address our customer issues from general-purpose equipment. Even as our social environment changes, there will be many opportunities for Hitachi High-Tech Group to contribute to solving social issues using our strengths in Observation, Measurement, and Analysis technologies. In order for us to sustainably grow into a company that can contribute to society 10 or even 20 years into the future, we believe that, in addition to our existing businesses, starting with our healthcare and nanotechnology (semiconductor field) businesses, we will need to create new businesses that can contribute to solving social issues in various fields. Furthermore, to ensure stable and continuous growth, we believe it is crucial that we develop a strong management foundation that can flexibly respond to changes in the social environment.
Based on these ideas, the 2024 Mid-term Plan focuses on the following three points.
We will further enhance our existing mainstay businesses in healthcare and nanotechnology (semiconductor field) by furthering our integration with digital technology and co-creation with our customers.
In order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, we will create new business through three-pronged activities centered around our “core technologies and business,” utilizing “front office capabilities and issue resolution capabilities” pertaining to global business expansions, and “business development capabilities” practice through customer co-creation, as well as the active use of Lumada.
In order to create new value even as uncertainty rises in the world, we will build a firm management foundation that can flexibly respond to social changes.
Through these three key initiatives, the Hitachi High-Tech Group will execute our 2024 Mid-term Plan. Furthermore, as a member of Hitachi, Ltd.'s Connective Industries Sector, we will digitally connect strong products in a wide range of fields using Lumada, and provide solutions through co-creation with customers to respond to complicated and complex social issues.
In order to create new value by strengthening existing businesses and business-creation capabilities, we will continue to strengthen our ability to flexibly respond to changes and be willing to change on our own. We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by solving social issues utilizing our strengths in Observation, Measurement, and Analysis.
