  • Sogo Shosha Become Integrated?… ………………………………………… 32 Chapter 3: the Shosha's CSR Activities 1
    Introduction The Shosha have always reorganized and expanded their roles and the services they offer, to adapt with the change of the times. For this reason, most people, especially non-Japanese, probably find it difficult to understand exactly what the Shosha do. Even people who have worked at Shosha for many years likely have problems explaining them to others in a succinct, easily understandable manner. We prepared this Handbook with a view to helping as many people as possible to understand the frequently complex activities in which the Shosha are involved. Chapter 1 explains the essence of the Shosha and their strengths, and summarizes how their recent business model is based on two cornerstones -- trading and business investments. Chapter 2 examines the role that the Shosha play in the global economy, and the value they contribute to society. It goes on to explain how they support the lives of people around the world from seven perspectives. Chapter 3 provides a simple overview of Shosha's CSR activities. Chapter 4 introduces the activities of Japan Foreign Trade Council, Inc. (JFTC), which marked the 70th anniversary in 2017. We hope this Handbook will provide as many readers as possible with a deeper understanding of the activities, business and projects in which the Shosha engage.

No. 735 Actions 11 On June 30, 2015, defendant Toshiba Corporation (“Toshiba”) moved for summary a 12 13 judgment, arguing plaintiffs’ claims are time-barred because Toshiba withdrew from any 14 conspiracy by no later than 2004. (Dkt. No. 735.) Having carefully considered the papers 15 submitted, the record in this case, and the arguments of counsel, and good cause shown, the Court 16 DENIES the motion. 17 I. BACKGROUND United States District Court This multidistrict litigation stems from allegations of a multi-year conspiracy, extending Northern District of Californi Northern District of 18 19 back to 2002, among Japanese and Korean corporations and their U.S. subsidiaries to fix the 20 prices of lithium ion battery cells, the chemical core of rechargeable batteries found ubiquitously 21 in consumer electronics products. Toshiba was purportedly a member of the conspiracy, and at 22 the hearing appeared to stipulate to membership solely for purposes of resolving the instant 23 motion. However, Toshiba asserts it withdrew from any conspiracy by the end of 2004 through 24 the sale of its lithium ion cell manufacturing business. 25 Two groups of plaintiffs, denominated the direct purchaser plaintiffs (“DPPs”) and indirect 26 purchaser plaintiffs (“IPPs”) (collectively, “plaintiffs”), seek to represent putative classes of 27 persons, businesses, and, in the case of the IPPs, municipal and regional governments injured by 28 the alleged overcharge.

  • Highlights of General Trading Companies' Financial Results For
    21-D-0283 June 21, 2021 Highlights of General Trading Companies’ Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 2021 The following are Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. (JCR)’s perception of the current status and highlights for rating concerning the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2021 (FY2020) and earnings forecasts for FY2021 of Japan’s 6 general trading companies: Mitsubishi Corporation (“Mitsubishi”), SUMITOMO CORPORATION (“SUMITOMO”), MITSUI & CO., LTD. (“MITSUI”), Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”), ITOCHU Corporation (“ITOCHU”) and Sojitz Corporation(“Sojitz”). 1. Industry Trend In the resource sector, there were differences in price movements depending on the commodities. For example, price of crude oil fell from around USD 60 per barrel in FY2019 to around USD 40 per barrel in FY2020, and price of coking coal fell from around USD 160 per ton to less than USD 120 per ton. On the other hand, copper price rose from around USD 6,000 per ton to around USD 6,500 per ton, and iron ore price rose from the USD 90 per ton range to USD 120 per ton range. Although the amount of impact differs from company to company, MITSUI recorded a negative impact of 50 billion yen for crude oil and gas and 22 billion yen for coal, and a positive impact of 56 billion yen for iron ore on net income attributable to owners of the parent (net income) for FY2020. It is difficult to forecast resource prices with a high degree of certainty, because they are easily affected by global political and economic changes. It is necessary to continue to carefully monitor market trends.
