The Company also acquired North Sea oil field rights, bought the Mibugawa Hydro Power Station, and invested in food wholesaling businesses and supermarkets. 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Financial Results Marubeni launched VISION2000, a three-year master policy, in April 1998. Under this initiative, we have been striving to contribute to the world economy as a value-creating, globally networked enterprise. In April 1999, to respond to drastic changes in our operating environment, we imple- mented the two-year VISION2000 Restructuring Plan, through which our top management priority is to streamline balance sheets by enhancing asset efficiency and curtailing interest-bearing debt. We have almost reached the objectives of the VISION2000 Restructuring Plan. Our operating profits are recovering, creating the foundations for our transformation to a more aggressive business structure. Economic Environment In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the U.S. economic slowdown braked the Japanese economy, while the IT revolution accelerated in Japan. The United States experienced decelera- tion in capital investment and personal consumption. In contrast, consumption recovered in Europe, and exports were higher due to expansion supported by the weakness of the euro. In Asia, exports soared in the first half of the year on the strength of a global IT boom. Capital invest- ment was brisk, mainly to increase production capacity in IT equipment and electronic parts. In the second half, however, Asian economies slowed as IT demand in the United States shrank. In Japan, IT investment expanded steadily in line with strong corporate earnings. Nonetheless, the domestic economy lacked vigor because personal consumption remained slack amid concerns over rising unemployment and declining incomes. In addition, exports to the United States and other Asian markets flattened, leaving the Japanese economy in the doldrums from the second half of the year. Japan entered 2001 with worsening deflation and falling stock prices. The Bank of Japan responded to this situation by flooding the capital markets with funds and effectively resurrected its zero interest rate policy. Japan’s balance of payments decreased as imports of IT equipment and textiles from other Asian countries rose. Operating Performance Improved profitability helped Marubeni boost gross trading and operating profits in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. Net income rocketed more than sevenfold, to ¥15.0 billion.

Financial Restructuring We stepped up efforts to cut consolidated total assets and interest-bearing debt and trim our balance sheets. At the same time, we reduced interest and other expenses as part of an overall cost-reduction drive. We achieved the VISION2000 Restructuring Plan’s goal of lowering consolidated total assets to ¥5.3 trillion by the end of the fiscal year under review. Net interest-bearing debt was ¥3.1 trillion at year-end, just above the target of ¥3.0 trillion. We refrained from paying dividends for this fiscal year as part of a concerted, ongoing manage- ment effort to increase shareholders’ equity. Shareholders' Equity Change from (Billions of yen) March 31, 1999 March 31, 2000 March 31, 2001 March 31, 1999 Shareholders’ equity ¥354 ¥324 ¥342 –¥12 ROE — 0.61% 4.51% Shareholders’ equity Net debt-to-equity ratio (Billions of yen) (Times) 500 12 11.2 400 10.3 9.0 11 300 10 200 9 100 8 354 324 342 ~ 0 0 March 31, 1999 March 31, 2000 March 31, 2001 Business Restructuring We have endeavored to decrease the proportion of unprofitable operations, liquidating loss- making and noncore businesses while cutting the number of consolidated subsidiaries and affili- ates. In the year under review, we liquidated or sold 96 consolidated subsidiaries or affiliates, and newly consolidated 48 companies. At the close of the term, therefore, we had 598 consolidated companies, down 48 from 12 months earlier. Unfortunately, we failed to meet our target of having around 500 consolidated companies as of March 31, 2001. However, we did make considerable progress in that just 19.7% of these com- panies were unprofitable, down from 26.3% at the end of the previous fiscal year, in line with our goal of lowering the proportion to below 20%. Consolidated Net Profit of Group Firms Net profit of group firms (Billions of yen) Number of firms 75 (Start of restructuring) 600 484 476 480 50 459 500 32 25 9 400 37 5 42 48 66 0 –32 –39 300 209 –25 230 –35 200 –30 –50 170 100 118 –72 –75 0 March 31, 1998 March 31, 1999 March 31, 2000 March 31, 2001 Total number of group firms 693 689 646 598 Ratio of loss-making firms to total 30.2% 33.4% 26.3% 19.7% Surplus amount Deficit amount Net profit of group firms Profit-making firms Loss-making firms 4 Personnel Restructuring As well as trimming our balance sheets and liquidating operations, we reduced personnel in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. Marubeni had 4,652 employees as of April 1, 2001, down 399 from a year earlier.

It is putting in place policies which double down on its reliance on coal, and indiscriminately subsidize biomass power technologies that accelerate climate change. Government policy is not the only driver of Japan’s dirty energy expansion – the private sector also plays a pivotal role in growing the country’s energy carbon footprint.

  • Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2000
    Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2000 Introduction In a Web audience survey conducted by Nippon Research Center Ltd., the number of Internet users in Japan was approximately 23 million people as of December 2000, with Web users accounting for approximately 20 million of this total. Also according to a survey by Video Research Netcom Ltd., the number of households using the Internet had risen to 30.5% of Japanese households as of September 2000. Based on this growth in Internet users, the Internet advertising market in Japan grew 111.4% to ¥24.1 billion in calendar 1999 according to a survey by DENTSU INC. and is estimated to hit ¥50 billion in calendar 2000. According to IAB report, the Internet advertising market in the United States declined against the previous quarter for the first time in the third quarter of calendar 2000, falling 6.5%, to US$1.98 billion. The decline was attributed to the slow down in the economy, the bankruptcy of some dot com companies, and advertising restraint. Market growth is forecast to decline compared with other years, with the figure for the first three quarters of calendar 2000 rising only 113.2% compared to the previous year. Under the impact of advertising restraint due to poor conditions in economies, the rate of growth in U.S. and Japanese Internet advertising may slow temporarily but the fundamentals have not changed significantly. In the medium to long term, as a new advertising medium, Internet advertising is expected to continue to grow as its value increases in tandem with the number of Internet users.

  • CSR for ITOCHU Corporation (PDF 780KB)
    CSR for ITOCHU Corporation ITOCHU Corporation is pursuing multi­facetted corporate activities in various regions of the world and a wide range of fields, and as such, ITOCHU is well aware of how significant its impact on society is. We believe that corporate social responsibility (CSR) lies in corporate thought and action on the question of how to play a role in building sustainable societies through business activities. We also believe that our mission is to fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibility as a global enterprise, always working from the viewpoint of whether we are contributing to the countries of the world and to society. ITOCHU Group Corporate Message ITOCHU founder Chubei Itoh first launched a wholesale linen business in 1858. For more than 150 years since, ITOCHU has passed down the spirit of sampo yoshi (good for the buyer, seller and society), a management philosophy embraced by Ohmi merchants that is the source of its CSR thinking today. After considering ways to demonstrate its commitment to society as an international corporation and to put this commitment into practice, in 1992 ITOCHU formulated “Committed to the Global Good” as a corporate philosophy. The conceptual framework for this philosophy was reorganized in 2009. In order for all employees to properly understand the responsibility that the ITOCHU Group is charged with fulfilling for society and to make this philosophy an integral part of actions everyday, its core element, “Committed to the Global Good,” was set as the ITOCHU Mission for the entire ITOCHU Group. Accompanying this is a new set of five values, called the ITOCHU Values, considered vital for enabling each employee to fulfill their role in realizing the ITOCHU Mission.

  • May 19, 2014 Mitsubishi Corporation Marubeni Corporation Sumitomo
    May 19, 2014 Mitsubishi Corporation Marubeni Corporation Sumitomo Corporation Commencement of Sales of Thilawa Industrial Park Development in Myanmar A consortium made up of Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation (“the three companies”) joined forces with Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holding Public Limited on January 11, 2014 to established Myanmar Japan Thilawa Development Ltd., (“MJTD”). MJTD has been developing the 396 hectare “Class A Area” of the Thilawa Special Economic Zone in Myanmar, which is scheduled to open in the middle of 2015. The three companies, as Japanese marketing agents of MJTD, will start the sale of leasehold rights for the Class A Area (50 years + 25 years as optional) in stages from May 19, 2014. Any of the three companies may be contacted for details on these lots, such as the available lot size, rent and other conditions. The Class A Area is located approximately 20 km southeast of the capital Yangon, and offers various incentives as a special economic zone. This is a key location, not only for export processing bases, but also for production bases targeting domestic demand. The three companies will provide high levels of infrastructure and utility services by applying the extensive know-how they have developed in the industrial park business in ASEAN countries. Attracting Japanese and other foreign investment to the Class A Area will also contribute to job creation and the economic development of Myanmar. In addition, on April 23 this year, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a joint venture agreement for MJTD, making the development of Thilawa Class A the first public-private partnership business between Japan and Myanmar.
