For many years, we have been involved in social infrastructure projects in various fields, including railway, buses, and other forms of transportation, urban and community development, electricity, gas, etc. As societal demands in recent years have placed even greater importance on SDGs and ESG initiatives in business, we are working to create and invest in new social infrastructure, such as airports, with the aim of resolving social issues through our infrastructure business.
In Japan's infrastructure business sector, many policies have been enacted to adapt to changes in social structure, such as promoting public-private partnerships and the introduction of renewable energy. However, issues unique to infrastructure projects exist, such as the risks of commercialization and mismatches in funding, making it necessary to diversify business schemes and fundraising mechanisms.
Together with Infronia Holdings, Global Infrastructure Management, an investor in both companies, and other supporting business partners, we have built an infrastructure business platform that includes two types of infrastructure funds with different purposes in order to resolve these issues, expand our business further, and promote the development of the domestic infrastructure capital market.
Through this business platform, we aim to commercialize various domestic infrastructure projects that are currently under development, are not yet in operation, and are open to public tenders. We will be involved in business operations and value addition in the fields of transportation and shipping, tourism, education, and entertainment, regional utility services, and the environment and energy, thereby resolving issues in the social infrastructure field and working to realize a decarbonized, recycling-based society through our business.
