Message from the President and CEO

A stable supply of energy and the development of business to provide solutions

A stable supply of energy and the development of business to provide solutions
I am Tomofumi Yoshida. I became President and Chief Executive Officer in April 2023.
For more than 60 years, the Itochu Enex Group has continually provided energy, infrastructure and services that are necessary for life as the best partner for life and society.

We will continue to fulfill our mission and expand our operations and services to contribute to solving social issues, enhancing people's lives and establishing a sustainable society.
The environment surrounding us is at a turning point where events that are difficult to predict are occurring, including the rising resource prices, energy shortages, and the changes to environmentally friendly products.

No matter what environment we are in, the Group's role is to respond to the requests of its stakeholders promptly through the stable supply of energy and the development of business according to the needs of society.
We will focus particularly on selling products, services and solutions that contribute to decarbonization.

At the same time, we will accelerate initiatives to enable each employee to display their capabilities.
We will expand systems to enable our diverse workforce, which includes many women, to actively participate and promote human capital initiatives to increase productivity and enhance corporate value.

April, 2023
Tomofumi Yoshida
Representative Director, President and Chief Executive Officer
