We are now faced with a world economic environment characterized by such serious common global social issues as global
environmental issues, resource and energy shortages, improving food, water and air quality, adjusting to the needs of a more
information-intensive society with the shift to Big Data, and coping with great increases in population in many parts of the world
as well as the issues presented by aging societies in various national settings. In such an environment, Toshiba’s vision going
forward is to aim to contribute through its various businesses to the realization of a safe, secure and comfortable society, a
Human Smart Community by Lifenology – the technology life requires. To realize this vision, it is necessary to aim to not only
provide products but also to provide excellent user experiences. Providing products is only the starting point, and we need to
fuse our products and services so as to add better user experiences such as by combining products and advanced sensors as well
as information and communication technology (ICT).
Taking all these crucial matters into consideration,
we have drawn up a Medium-term Business Plan for
FY2014 through FY2016 that will help Toshiba achieve
sustained Growth through Creativity and Innovation by
pursuing growth that does not overly depend on market
growth but is generated by Toshiba’s creative powers.
Among the key points of our new Medium-term Business
Plan, the ones I place most importance on are
“promoting a healthy financial base,” “organic growth”
and “enhancing pro tability.” We will work to compatibly
balance both creative growth and the strengthening of
our nancial base.
Medium-term Business Plan – FY2014 to FY2016
the progress we have made in restructuring, the operating income of this business segment steadily improved from the rst half
to the second half of the scal year. Toshiba’s debt/equity ratio improved by 29 points compared to the year-earlier period to
become 113%.
On the back of our business performance and achievements in FY2013, we will go forward with resolute all-out e orts to
achieve sustained creative growth, and at the same time, we will accelerate our e orts to solve remaining issues. Based on this,
we have drawn up Toshiba’s Medium-term Business Plan for up until FY2016. I would like to introduce the key points of our plan.
