Supporting the World Through Logistics and Opening the Door to a Prosperous Future

I am Takashi Ito, President & Chief Executive Officer of MOL Logistics Co., Ltd.

The environment surrounding logistics is changing at an unprecedented speed. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, market volatility, and rising geopolitical risks have further exposed the inherent "uncertainty" within global logistics. As companies face challenges such as securing transportation capacity and disrupted lead times, expectations for logistics providers to deliver more comprehensive and flexible solutions-beyond simple transportation arrangements-have never been higher.

More recently, our customers have expressed growing needs for logistics visibility through digital technologies, environmental initiatives toward a decarbonized society, and the assurance of stable and reliable transportation. We are determined to continue being a company that meets these expectations head-on.

Even in these turbulent times, we remain fully committed to our mission:
to support everyday life around the world, and open the door to a prosperous future by providing comprehensive, high-value-added logistics services capable of meeting any customer need.

We hereby pledge to continue delivering high-value logistics services that support daily life in Japan and around the world, and to remain the company most trusted by our customers.

Further Advancing "BLUE ACTION 2035" in an Era of Change

The MOL Group is currently promoting its management plan, "BLUE ACTION 2035," aimed at realizing our vision for 2035. This plan seeks to transform the Group into a global social infrastructure company originating from the ocean. Phase 1, which ran through FY2025, was a period of transformation focused on building a solid foundation for future growth.

Through proactive investment across the Group-particularly in environmental initiatives-we have steadily established a sustainable growth platform that responds to the global imperative of decarbonization.

Phase 2, beginning in FY2026, represents a new stage for MOL Logistics as well. Building on the achievements of the past, we will create new value together with society and our customers. We will accelerate the introduction of clean energy to achieve our GHG reduction targets, while leveraging DX to shift each employee's work toward value creation and contribute to solving social challenges through digital technologies.

Under these guiding principles, we will reaffirm our role and accelerate our growth strategy through a clear focus on selection and concentration.

Three Key Strategic Priorities for Growth

1. Expanding Overseas Handling Volumes and Strengthening Procurement Capabilities

To date, we have built strong customer relationships centered on Japan-related logistics. While maintaining and enhancing this solid foundation, we will focus on expanding overseas handling volumes to drive further growth.

In addition to fast-growing Asia, we will strengthen our networks in India and Africa-regions expected to become future growth centers-to further enhance our global capabilities.

At the same time, we will reinforce our procurement capabilities. By securing stable transportation capacity and improving cost competitiveness, we will reconstruct logistics from a global optimization perspective and create a virtuous cycle of sustainable growth together with our customers.

2. Completing Digital Investments and Creating Added Value

We will continue investing in digital initiatives, including the full implementation of our core system, CargoWise. Data integration and visualization go beyond operational efficiency alone.

By leveraging accumulated transportation data, we aim to strengthen our ability to address diverse customer challenges-such as inventory optimization and lead-time reduction-and deliver tangible value.

3. Strengthening Collaboration with Strategic Partners

Collaboration with partners capable of generating strong synergies is a key strategy for achieving sustainable growth. Through partnerships that amplify each other's strengths-where one plus one creates more than two-we will dramatically enhance our overall capabilities.

Creating Unique Value Through Group Synergy

Our greatest strength lies in combining the MOL Group's global-scale assets with the forwarding expertise and on-the-ground responsiveness we have cultivated over many years. Moving forward, we will further deepen collaboration with regional organizations and redefine logistics from a globally optimized perspective, not limited to Japan.

We will continue to refine our expertise in specialized fields such as refrigerated and frozen cargo, medical equipment, and heavy-lift transportation, while proactively taking on new challenges. Through these efforts, we will pursue highly distinctive services that make customers choose us because "it has to be MOL Logistics."

Integrity and Humility: Building a Culture of Ownership

The values I cherish most in management are integrity and humility. While placing the utmost importance on trust with our customers, I also believe in engaging sincerely with each employee and building a strong team through open dialogue.

Central to this is fostering a culture of ownership. In logistics operations, unexpected situations arise on a daily basis. Treating challenges not as someone else's problem but as one's own responsibility-and acting proactively-leads to individual growth and organizational strength.

I want as many employees as possible to experience the sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming challenges and earning customers' trust. To that end, we will continue creating a work environment that enhances engagement and encourages challenge.

A company's mission is to maximize the well-being of the people who work there. By contributing to our employees' growth and happiness, we will continue to enhance the value we deliver to our customers.

Co-Creating a Global Future Built on Trust

By 2035, our vision is to become a truly unique presence in the industry-where, high-quality, cutting-edge services and a comprehensive global network work together to create exceptional value.

By supporting global logistics as one unified organization and continuing to deliver value to people's lives and futures, I will lead from the front and continue taking on new challenges to fulfill this promise.

To our customers, partner companies, and those who will join us in the future-I invite you to look forward to our next chapter. Let us create a better future together.
