Metal+(Plus) Division
Mission
To hand over a path to a carbon-neutral society to children of the future as a leader of materials transformation and functional reform in the field of metals and creating unique and innovative + (Plus)
Business Model Based on Mission
The Metal+ (Plus) Division consists of two strategic business units (SBUs):
The Mobility Materials Solutions SBU and the Metal Solutions SBU. The word “Solutions” that is common to both SBUs expresses our desire to go beyond mere materials trading and provide one-and-only new added value to solve social issues together with our stakeholders. Through both business strategies and human capital management, we aim to achieve our mid- to long-term goals by both developing existing businesses and creating new businesses that emerge through that development.
Mobility Materials Solutions SBU:
The Mobility Materials Solutions SBU will contribute to sustainability in the mobility industry, starting from the refinement of supply chain management and processing functions for automotive steel sheets. We are also expanding our value chain beyond the automotive industry to cover the entire mobility materials domain, promoting the greening of the mobility society of the future through GX and digital transformation (DX) in materials, distribution, and manufacturing.
Metal Solutions SBU:
The Metal Solutions SBU will expand its business domains and create new businesses with added value in the three areas of electrification parts/components, green steel and resources recycling, and renewable energy and new energy components, in response to changing steel needs and growing carbon neutrality needs associated with the development of an electrified society.

| Market Environment |
|---|
| With the transition to a decarbonized society, the steel industry is facing a major challenge in reducing GHG emissions. In addition, the paradigm shift in the mobility industry requires a transformation of materials and functions in the metal field. While securing competitiveness on the traditional axes of cost and function, there is expected to be an increasing need for products and functions that enable green transformation (GX) to solve these social issues. |

Business Examples
In addition to creating businesses that integrate “arterial” and “venous” businesses by pursuing synergies between divisions, such as collaboration with the Circular Economy Division, which has “venous” businesses as its core, we will take on challenges for the future, such as the creation of new green steel “arterial” businesses.
