In the section, President Shunichi Miyanaga outlines the corporate aspirations defined by the newly launched 2015 Medium-Term Business Plan, a three year plan started this fiscal year, and describes MHI as "a global group with the vision to mold an innovative and agile organization that leverages our dedication to technological advancement and engineering excellence in order to deliver solid growth amid constant changes and make a lasting difference in the communities we serve."
In the section titled "Strategies for Augmenting Corporate Value," President Miyanaga presents further details of the three initiatives in the Medium-Term Business Plan, which he describes in his President's Message as: "Enhance global competitiveness through accelerated expansion," "Further bolster financial strength and pursue high profitability" and "Promote global-standard corporate governance and management processes." In the "CFO's Message" section, cash flow-oriented financial and capital policies are presented.
