1. Reasons for Business Transfer
|
Since its establishment, our company has been engaged in the creation of comfortable social environments covering from general dwelling spaces to office buildings, condominiums, and other urban spaces under the consistent mission of gcleaning dirty places and making unsanitary places hygienic.h In the course of our business activities, we constructed the Kitakyushu Plant in Moji-ku, Kitakyushu City in April 1994 to enter the industrial waste-disposal business in the intermediate waste processing sector. Since then, we have expanded our business in the field of intermediate processing and recycling of industrial waste throughout Japan.
Our company is currently under way of strengthening business makeup and establishing a solid management foundation with an aim of drastic improvement of business performance, thereby continually developing profit-earning ability and ensuring sustainable increase of profit. As a result, we could return to profitability in the first quarter of this fiscal year. Based on the understanding that we should concentrate our management resources on the HS business operation, our core business, to further improve our business performance in the future, we made a decision to transfer part of our Environmental Resources Development business.
