CEO Message

We aspire to be a company that inspires passionate challenges.

We at the KDDI Group are committed to realizing our vision for the future society through the "KDDI VISION 2030." This vision aims to enhance "the power to connect" to create a society in which anyone can make their dreams a reality.

"Enhancing the power to connect" is a crucial theme for us.
Through the provision of communications and diverse services, we aim to warmly connect people's "Lives," "Day-to-Day Lives," and "Hearts and Minds." "Enhancing the power to connect" is at the core of our mission.

We are now in an era where communications and AI are seamlessly integrated into every aspect of daily life, creating new value.
By leveraging AI and digital data to elevate "the power to connect" to a new dimension, we can incorporate new digital trends into all our businesses and continuously propose new value to our customers and partners.

Upon assuming the role of President, I proclaimed our vision as "A Company That Inspires Passionate Challenges."

KDDI has a pioneering history that has been cultivated since the dawn of international communications, and a spirit of endeavor to support our customers and deliver inspiration that exceed their expectations through our challenges to major competitors in the domestic market.
In addition to fostering a culture of "challenge" within the company, we aspire to actively support those who are "passionately challenging" for the future of Japan. Based on this vision, I am outlining three prospects for the future.

"Connecting with partners to create the future"

Our Challenge: We harness unique talents, embrace passion, and dare to create the future, together with diverse partners.

"Spreading the power to connect across the world"

Our Challenge: We embrace the global journey that awaits, reigniting efforts to spread proven successes and turning local triumphs into global victories.

"Connecting with customer's present, customer's future"

Our Challenge: We connect deeply with customers, moment by moment, building lasting relationships. Beyond daily life, we accompany their lifetime journey, crafting a better future together."

Through these three actions, we aim to harness the passionate strength of all employees as a driving force for challenge, working together with diverse partners to forge a path into the future.

We have the "KDDI Group Philosophy," a universal set of values held by each and every employee. Since its founding, KDDI has fostered a culture that values a spirit of endeavor, and we aim to further cultivate an environment that celebrates this spirit. "We set specific goals with a pure and aspirational mind. Once our targets are set, we will drive ourselves to keep going with a strong commitment until we achieve success. Then we will share the fruits of our accomplishments." ―this series of cycles defines our "professional mindset."

We will carry forward our values, culture, and corporate spirit, including the Philosophy, into the future.
Furthermore, we will proactively embrace new digital trends centered around AI, enjoy change, and challenge ourselves to drive transformation.
We aim for all employees to wholeheartedly engage in the enhancement of "the power to connect" with passion.

We invite you to look forward to KDDI as we continue to build upon our legacy while embracing transformation and upgrades.
