Message from CEO
Principles and strategies
Riding on the strength as a professional comfortable space creator, we will go on driving innovative changes to achieve a low carbon society as a global environmental solution company.
At present, the business environment is steady as the manufacturing sector, such as semiconductors and electronics parts, is thriving and redevelopment projects in large urban cities are in progress, while it is forecast that future workforce supply capabilities at a macro level will decline in view of the falling population in the country and the year 2024 problem. In addition to enhancing each person's productivity to improve our business competitiveness, we believe that expanding solution fields contributing to the global environment with the air conditioning business at the core will increase our corporate value and meet the expectations of stakeholders who support us. As the"Takasago as technology"that handles heat and energy, and a professional company that is currently focusing on energy services and green hydrogen to offer a comfortable environment, we
will work on business model reform and our business fields expansion on the basis of air conditioning technology capable of creating comfortable space.
We are operating in 10 countries centered on Southeast Asia apart from the mother market Japan. Although the COVID-19 impact is huge, we have to enhance our presence in the global market to contribute to the global environment in view of a post-COVID-19 world.
Citing the phrase"Strategy the second class, action the first class"in-house, we always stress that it is important to act as soon as you form a strategy and to review it flexibly according to the action result.
As a global environmental solution company, we will contribute to the realization of a low carbon society with promptness of action in mind.
Toward increasing non-financial value―investment in
human resources, Takasago brand
Rise in uncertainties like climate change and contributions to a
low carbon society
While we do not have hardware assets such as large production bases, our Group employees are working with makers and partner companies to create various spaces. Business is people, indeed, and no other asset is greater than people. With further investment in human resources, we will help each employee stimulate one another on a daily basis, demonstrate their ability to the fullest, and offer new values to society sustainably.
Takasago Thermal Engineering is known within the industry, but public awareness of us is still low.
opportunity. In the face of the situation, we have to raise the Takasago brand and its visibility through active public relations emphasizing efforts for environmental creations based on our high-level construction management and energy-savingtechnology-led comfortable spaces creation. We will try to further enhance human resources value as a non-financialoff-balance-sheet asset, and Takasago brand.
While 2021 witnessed the Olympics and Paralympics Games, put off for one year, draw to close, COVID-19 is still casting a shadow globally partly because of the emergence of mutant strains. Apart from COVID-19, as extreme weather events such as record heavy rains and large wildfires are raging, uncertainties are rising to such an extent that VUCA does not have to be used any longer. On the
other hand, what is becoming more certain is that there is no time left to lose for accelerating efforts for decarbonization. Of the energy consumed in buildings, air conditioning accounts for as much as r o u g h l y 4 0 % . W h i l e r e c o g n i z i n g o u r s o l i d responsibility for realizing a low carbon society, we feel that it has huge potential for our growth.
Environmental and ESG efforts will prevail globally at an accelerating pace not as a cost but as an

Our main business is air conditioning and since our founding in 1923, we have applied air conditioning and heat storage technologies to create comfortable infrastructures needed by customers, which are required to be environmentally friendly in recent times. This is supported by our on-site capabilities built on knowledge and technologies accumulated
through construction results over the ages. In addition to promoting ongoing DX and off-site construction work, we will accelerate research and development in the Takasago Thermal Engineering Innovation Center, which was newly built in Tsukubamirai City, Ibaraki Prefecture, to further strengthen our on-site capabilities.

Principles and strategies | ||
As an environmental creator® that creates an environment the earth and people need, we will contribute to the development of a sustainable society.
Kazuhito Kojima
President and Representative Director
COO
Dear stakeholders
While our 100th anniversary is approaching, we are facing various management issues including the development of the environment for a low carbon society, COVID-19, and the proliferation of digital technology.
Amid an era when future prediction is said to be difficult, we will open up the future with our technology capable of addressing global issues based on the DNA of Takasago Thermal Engineering that has been seeking to offer more added value than our customers and society expect.
Today is symbolized by the acronym ESG, which we recognize as exactly embodying Takasago Thermal Engineering's corporate mission, management philosophy. Since our founding, we have adhered to the corporate mission"Contribution to society through personal harmony and creativity,"committing to enriching people's life and developing a socioeconomy through HVAC.
I believe that the basic principle of corporate activities is understanding nature's law, putting harmony among nature, society, and humans before anything else, and acting with restraint. Principles must be expressed by deeds, not by words. To achieve"carbon neutrality by 2050"as declared by the government, a pile of challenges lies ahead, but as an environmental creator®, we will lead society, dedicated to the realization of a low carbon society.
We would appreciate it if you could expect much from our future and provide your continued support to us.
