Major sustainability themes (materiality)
1 Further seek safety, security, and satisfaction
Based on the belief that safety and security are the backbone of our Group's businesses, we will strive to improve customer satisfaction through measures to address stakeholder expectations, including planned investment in safety and conducting safety education and BCP training. Going forward, we will also strategically advance our response to natural disasters, which are expected to become even more severe.

2 Thriving and friendly community development
We will develop areas maximizing Namba's potential and build a foundation to bring back the population that has become concentrated in cities to the areas along our railway lines, capitalizing on local resources such as nature and the countless tourism resources and historical assets in each area, and through communication with diverse stakeholders.

3Create a future full of dreams
We will aim for further growth of the areas along our railway lines, using the opening of Naniwasuji Line and tourism to Japan, EXPO2025, and the integrated resort (IR) as footholds. With a view to the work-style reforms through the advance of digitalization, we will progress community development that is not based on commuting to city centers, merge the digital with the real, and drive the formation of smart cities that will offer not just methods for people's travel, but services for various scenes in daily living.
