Under Yokohama Transformation 2026 (YX2026), the Company’s medium-term plan for fiscal years 2024–2026, Yokohama Rubber is implementing initiatives that integrate sustainability activities into its business strategies. Accordingly, the Company is accelerating business activities that will lead to sustainable enhancement of its corporate value while contributing to local communities and the resolution of social issues.
To facilitate stakeholders’ proper understanding of a comprehensive presentation of Yokohama Rubber’s management strategies and business activities, in 2022 Yokohama Rubber began publishing an integrated report that includes a well-organized presentation of such key financial information as management strategies and business performance as well as important non-financial information regarding the Company’s social, environmental, human resources, and corporate governance policies and activities. Referencing the International Integrated Reporting Framework advocated by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation and the Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Guidance for Collaborative Value Creation, the report’s structure is based on the key issues identified under Yokohama Rubber’s materiality review.
To deepen stakeholders’ understanding of how Yokohama Rubber will achieve sustainable growth, “Integrated Report 2026” features a new structure based on the “Corporate Value Equation,” which comprises three drivers for enhancing corporate value— improving profitability, enhancing growth expectations, and reducing the cost of capital. This year’s report presents Yokohama Rubber’s sustainable growth story in four chapters: Value Creation Story (Corporate Value), Maximizing Value Delivery and Returns (Improving Profitability), Sustainable Growth Through New Value Creation (Enhancing Growth Expectations), and The Foundations of Corporate Value and Value Proposition (Reducing Cost of Capital).
The Yokohama Rubber Group looks forward to communicating with stakeholders through various opportunities and will continue to proactively provide fair and transparent information disclosures through various methods, such as the recently released “Integrated Report 2026.”
