President message

The NANKAI Group spun off its railway operations on April 1, 2026, to transition to an optimal management structure tailored to each business's characteristics. Consequently, our company changed its name to “NANKAI Co., Ltd.”. While taking pride in our history, we have been reborn and taken a new step toward the sustainable growth of the entire group.

Under this new structure, we will further deepen the connections with the community we have cultivated and accelerate value creation as a group. True to the NANKAI Group's social mission, we will engage closely with local communities. Centered on our core businesses of real estate and public transportation, we will strive to foster everyone’s well-being through various business activities, including challenging new ventures and enhancing the value along our railway lines. We are committed to improving our medium- to long-term corporate value and solving social issues.
 
Today, society faces various issues including climate change, population decline, and a declining birthrate and aging population. Initiatives for "the realization of a sustainable society" that will enable both corporate activities and the sound operations of environmental and social systems are becoming increasingly important.
 
The NANKAI Group established its “Sustainability Policy” in April 2021. Under this policy, we defined seven major sustainability themes (materiality) incorporating the perspective of the SDGs, clearly outlining the direction of sustainable management our group aims to pursue. We are tackling social issues through our business activities, consciously linking our management plan with these materiality themes, and updating our action plans and KPIs accordingly.

Moving forward, while prioritizing the provision of safe, secure, and user-friendly transport services, we will combine diverse services—including residential, office, and commercial facility development; tourism and local industry promotion; digital technology utilization; and entrepreneur support—to pursue “community development that is gentle on the global environment and all people, resilient to natural disasters,” through climate change response, biodiversity conservation, and the realization of a circular economy.
Furthermore, through co-creation with our stakeholders, we will enhance the value of “living, working, and visiting” our communities. We will harness this as the driving force for our group's growth, aiming to achieve both “the enhancement of sustainable corporate value” and “the realization of a sustainable society”.
