FORWARD 08 Overview
The FORWARD 08 three-year medium-term management plan was launched in
April 2006, and aims to create and grow new value-added in the Group’s
businesses as well as maximize Group growth and corporate value. In order to
achieve this, the fundamental policies of the plan are to (1) promote growth by
leveraging collective Group resources, (2) build a new corporate image, and
(3) promote world-class CSR management.
In addition, the consolidated performance targets for the fiscal year ending
March 2009, which is the final year of the plan, are as follows.
• Consolidated net sales: ¥1,100 billion
• Operating income: ¥110 billion (operating income margin: 10%)
• Net income: ¥57 billion
In order to strengthen growth potential, the Group believes it is important to
pursue synergies between businesses that go beyond current boundaries in
seeking to create and grow new value-added in the Group’s businesses. The
Group intends to accelerate growth through the two drive wheels of “equipment
and services businesses” consisting of multi-function peripherals (MFPs) and laser
printers (LBPs), digital printing equipment and medical equipment, and
“components businesses”, consisting of optical components and display materials.
In addition to placing special emphasis on Business Technologies and Optics as
growth areas, the Group plans to steadfastly execute its “genre-top” strategy in
establishing itself as the top brand in specific markets and domains.
The Group’s growth strategy aims to strengthen core businesses while at the
same time expanding its domain in peripheral business areas through the
development of its existing business base and technology resources, and further,
to nurture future businesses centering on core technologies.
Moreover, the Group seeks to strengthen the constitution of the Group as a
whole by enhancing its business and financial base in addition to improving its
personnel resources and rebuilding its corporate image.
In order to achieve sustainable improvement in corporate and shareholder value,
it is essential that a company be trusted by society. In this regard, the Group is
committed to strengthening global development not only in economic terms, but
also from the standpoint of society and the environment, and to fulfilling its corpo-
rate social responsibility (CSR) as a corporation in strengthening Group internal
controls including compliance, and in seeking highly transparent management.
