I am happy to be able to report gains in sales and earnings in the past fiscal year, ended March 31, 2012. We entered the fiscal year in April in the wake of the Great East Japan Earth- quake, which occurred in March. Just as we were overcoming the aftereffects of that disaster, the severe flooding in Thailand disrupted supply chains anew. Further aggravating this adverse en- vironment was the stubborn strength of the yen. Our sales and earnings gains amid difficult cir- cumstances testify to superb work by our people. Our fiscal gains also reflect mounting returns on our stepped-up commitment to investment in recent years. We unveiled a blueprint for long-term growth in 2011 as our Global 2020 Vision, which details targets for sustainable global growth and mea- sures for achieving that growth. Our performance in the past fiscal year verifies that we are off to a good start in fulfilling our vision. We will con- tinue to assert Toyota Tsusho strengths in building a balanced business portfolio across the three sectors of mobility, environmental protection and resources development, and lifestyle and commu- nity initiatives. On the following pages, I address important subjects of concern to our shareholders and our other stakeholders. I hope in this way to keep you up to date with our programs and our progress. We are grateful for your support, and look for- ward to fulfilling your highest expectations of Toyota Tsusho.

These two reports were published to deepen the understanding of Toyota Tsusho’s activities among all stakeholders. However, considering that both reports are closely related to one another and our goal of fostering an even stronger understanding of Toyota Tsusho among our stakeholders, we have started producing an Integrated Report from the fiscal year ended March 2015. In the preparation of this report, we have referred to the International Integrated Reporting Framework (International <IR> Framework) advo- cated by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (version 4.0) of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Environmental Reporting Guidelines (2012 version) of the Ministry of the Environment in Japan and the ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility. In addition to reporting on management strategies, our performance, and business activities, the Integrated Report covers subjects such as Toyota Tsusho’s Approach to CSR, which guides our efforts to resolve social issues and contribute locally through our business activities. As Toyota Tsusho endeavors to drive sustained growth in these and other ways, we hope that this report will help to deepen your understanding of the company.
