On "fundamentally strengthening our management culture (reforming our corporate
structure)," the Group implemented initiatives to improve productivity, such as the expansion
of conductorless operations, the promotion of automated operation technology, and the
acceleration of digital transformation (DX) including through smart maintenance.
Furthermore, in order to create a sustainable JR East Group since June 2022, the Group
forged ahead with the three reforms of operational reform, working style reform, and
worksite reform to enhance the job satisfaction of all Group employees, while advancing the
restructuring of the JR East organization. As of March 31, 2023, "inter-organizational
projects" are under way at a total of 34 locations, where our staff members across departments
and organizations exercise their creativity and work close to customers in facing and
resolving issues regarding their respective areas or lines.
With regards to "implementing ESG management," the Group formulated the
"Energy Vision 2027 - Connect” in July 2022 as our energy strategy for the future, and with
a view to achieving net zero CO2 emissions for the entire Group by fiscal 2051, we
introduced energy-saving equipment for stations, and trains and promoted energy-saving
operations, as well as the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power and
solar power. Also, aiming to realize regional revitalization through co-creation with
communities, the Group promoted various initiatives, including community development
centered on regional core stations in Iwaki, Aomori and Niigata, expanding service areas of
multi-function regional IC cards in Yamagata and Hirosaki, and the opening of new stations
on the Keiyo Line and the Tazawako Line. We will continue to make Group-wide efforts
with the aim of realizing our management vision "Move Up" 2027.
