The AMITA Group developed and launched the Social Systems Design Business in 2021 to assist businesses and municipalities in achieving greater corporate and community sustainability. This was part of the Group's efforts to redesign industry and communities to achieve a sustainable future.

The Group intends to grow the Social Systems Design Business into one of its core business lines by 2030. In Phase 1, from 2021 through 2023, we will focus on laying the groundwork for the business by developing new service products to assist businesses and municipalities in their efforts to achieve greater sustainability. In Phase 2, from 2024 through 2026, we will continue to develop the market for the new business, and in Phase 3, from 2027 through 2029, we will expand the service offerings to accelerate the growth of the business into a solid revenue and profit source for the Group.

The three-year period from 2022 through 2024 covers the second and third years of Phase 1 and the first year of Phase 2. During this period, we will focus on developing and offering the following services and solutions to meet the fast-growing need to achieve greater corporate and community sustainability among businesses and municipalities.
