Basic Management Principles of the JFE Shoji Group

  • To achieve sound and highly transparent corporate management through the strict implementation of corporate governance.
  • To establish a corporate culture with excellent communication that is open and natural and which has the individual creative power of each employee at its foundation.
  • To pursue maximization of Group corporate value, together with aiming to be a corporate group with clear existing values in both society and the market place.
Since April 2012, the JFE Shoji Group has been promoting the third JFE Shoji Group medium-term management plan covering the period (April 2012 to March 2015), the plan is founded on a keen awareness that our roles will change and expand in response to major fluctuations in the economic environment and reorganization of the JFE Shoji Group. It is indeed a clear statement of our way forward, guided by our Management Vision:

JFE Shoji Group will open up new markets as the pioneer for whole JFE Group, and aim to become a Value Creating Company that constantly seeks to create new value.

The way to achieving that vision is mapped by following action guidelines :
  • Develop ～New Ground～
    Based on the steel business network, we will develop new markets by prompt approach.
  • Create ～New Values～
    With flexible thinking and imagination, we will provide valuable functions and create new business.
  • Progress ～New Synergy～
    By solidifying JFE Group’s strength, we will raise our presence in the market, and achieve the growth as a Group and progress with our customers.

Based on these guidelines, we have identified four priority business challenges for the duration of the third medium-term management plan:

(1)Restructure exiting business strategy and conduct speedy and aggressive sales.
(2)Create new business and added value based on our steel related business network.
(3)Take full advantage of capabilities and functions as a trading company to enhance the JFE Group’s corporate value.
(4)Further improve our business infrastructure, the foundation of our business activities.

In October 2012, JFE Shoji Trade Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of JFE Holdings. This move is designed to enable JFE Shoji Group’s marketing functions to be utilized to the maximum in whole JFE Group as well as to strengthen and streamline the group’s steel business supply chain by acquiring the information on our customers’ needs at the front line. This organization will surely make a genuine contribution to the enhancement of the corporate value of the group as a whole.

All of us at the JFE Shoji Group remain dedicated to earning our stakeholders’ trust and fulfilling their expectations through our business activities, and to ensuring we maintain a clear presence in our communities and markets.
