Metal+(Plus) Division
Mission
Creating a sustainable future with “the Dynamic Plus"
Business Model Based on Mission
The Metal+ (Plus) Division has leveraged its global network and advanced processing and logistics functions to build and provide a value chain for metal materials that is essential to a wide range of industries, including mobility, infrastructure, and energy. Building on this foundation, we will work alongside our stakeholders to solve social issues and contribute to a sustainable future toward achieving carbon neutrality for the global environment.
Our business activities are centered on two core pillars. The first is our function to strengthen and protect our customers’ supply chains by leveraging the on-site capabilities and expertise we have cultivated over many years, even in highly uncertain and rapidly changing environments such as those involving geopolitical risks. The second is our function to take on the challenge of solving future social issues through investments in green materials and new technologies. We drive both of these value propositions together to flexibly adapt to changes in society and the market. In doing so, we achieve sustainable growth over the medium to long term and contribute to society.

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.
