VALUE CREATION BY THE NEW YAMATO GROUP

Renewal of the Group's Management Structure

A Group Management Structure

That Focuses on Yamato Transport,

Which Centralizes Diverse

Management Resources(From April 2021)

Why Change?

The primary reason for commencing these reforms is that the Yamato Group's strategies, management systems, and organizational and corporate culture centered on TA-Q-BIN do not fully address customer and social needs regarding the rapidly changing business environment and steadily worsening social issues.

Business Environment / Social Issues

• Diversification of customer expectations and needs

• Rapid progress of EC (e-commerce) adoption in various industries
• Declining population and decaying regional infrastructure

• Declining working population

• Climate change and resource scarcity

• Further acceleration of the shift toward EC in all industries due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Lifestyles: Further growth of EC and shift to omni-channel approaches, including non-face-to-face interactions

Logistics structure: Total optimization of inventory and

supply routes

VALUE CREATION BY THE NEW YAMATO GROUP

From April 2021, we began promoting our medium-term management plan "One Yamato 2023," which covers the period from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, based on our new Group management structure that focuses on the new Yamato Transport, which centralizes the diverse management resources of each Group company. We will proactively face the needs of customers and society and make the lives of individual customers more convenient while supporting the overall management of corporate clients, thereby becoming the "best partner of both individual and corporate customers." Accordingly, we are working to implement the main initiatives set out in this plan.

What Is the Purpose of the Change?

We aim to proactively meet the needs of customers and society and make the lives of individual customers more convenient while supporting the overall management of corporate clients, thereby becoming the "best partner of both individual and corporate customers."
