As society and industrial structures continue to undergo significant changes, telecommunications have become deeply embedded in all aspects of life and serve as an essential foundation supporting both daily life and economic activities.
We will continue to fulfill our mission to connect by providing resilient digital infrastructure, including telecommunications networks, data centers, and AI platforms. Through the integration of telecommunications with a wide range of services, including finance and energy, we will contribute to achieving a safe and secure, truly connected society in which anyone can make their dreams a reality.

We believe that enriching people's lives through technology requires not only technological development but also the social implementation of technologies to create value.
We will promote the use of cutting-edge technologies, data, and AI to build resilient infrastructure and AI platform, create new value by integrating the strengths of different fields through partnering, and bring innovation to society by leveraging the connections between both the digital and real worlds. We will also advance the internal utilization of these technologies to achieve productivity improvements.

To address social challenges such as population decline and an aging population, the utilization of digital technologies is essential to enhancing the sustainability of regions and communities.
Through co-creation with partners, we will promote DX tailored to regional characteristics and challenges, including mobility services utilizing self-driving technology and initiatives related to disaster prevention and response. This will lead to the resolution of regional issues and the creation of new value. Furthermore, we will expand the solution models cultivated in Japan to the world, contributing to the realization of a sustainable and attractive society.

We believe that developing the human resources who will drive growth is essential to building a new growth structure.
We will further enhance the human capabilities fostered through the KDDI Group Philosophy and the expertise of professional human resources that we have cultivated over the years. By creating an environment that encourages "passionate challenges" driven by intrinsic motivation and fosters a culture of trust and collaboration, we will build a strong human resource foundation through which all employees can contribute to both business growth and creating social value.

By leveraging communication infrastructure with reduced environmental impact and promoting innovation, we will contribute through our business activities to the realization of a Decarbonized Society, the formation of a circular economy, and the conservation of biodiversity, and help leave a prosperous and sustainable planet for future generations.
Toward achieving net-zero by fiscal 2040, we will promote the introduction of advanced energy-saving technologies and renewable energy, and contribute to addressing global environmental challenges, including climate change.

As a company responsible for social infrastructure, the trust of customers and society is the foundation of our business.
By ensuring resilient and secure social infrastructure through initiatives such as information security measures and protecting customer safety and security through customer privacy protection, we will build a strong management foundation across the KDDI Group through effective group governance. We will also develop an effective governance structure and promote management transparency throughout the supply chain.
