To win out in the increasingly intensifying global competition even as the pace of societal changes accelerates, the Company is seeking to shift toward “technology-based business management”, with its main pillar of providing distinctive, leading-edge products and services supported by advanced technology, as called for in the Long-Term Vision. Essential to achieving this Vision will be introducing dynamic business management and developing personnel who could create new value. In the new Headquarters, a work style called Activity Based Working (ABW)*² is therefore being introduced to improve productivity by giving employees greater autonomy in carrying out their work, and to encourage free and open communication doing away with organizational boundaries. To facilitate this work style, open spaces and lounges usable for multiple purposes are provided in the new Headquarters, and other innovative spatial design measures have been taken. Another feature is the provision of a SQUARE LAB, for the purpose of making known Group technologies inside and outside the Company, along with promoting co-creation with various partners. The Company also plans to continue aggressively introducing the latest information and communication technology tools, in support of flexible and efficient work styles right for the times.

In conjunction with the above-mentioned measures,　on this occasion of headquarters relocation, the Company will achieve  a business management structure featuring greater autonomy, agility, and independence, aiming to foster the sustainable development and innovation of society.
