Since the establishment of Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. (NRI), we have been striving to enrich p e o p l e's l i v e s t h r o u g h o u r b u s i n e s s , i n c l u d i n g consulting and IT solutions. The spirit of challenging ourselves to resolve the social issues of companies and society and to create social value through our core business has been passed down as the NRI Group's DNA since our founding until the present.

For today's society which is currently fraught with increasingly complex and diverse challenges, one key is advancing with digitalization for maintaining vitality and growth into the future. The shift to digital first is likely to become a sweeping trend for society as a whole. Our desire is to generate new value in a broad range of areas from transforming companies and business to delivering solutions for social issues by focusing on transformation that leverages digital technologies (digital transformation = DX). If we leverage the NRI Group's ability to provide everything from consulting to IT solutions in an integrated manner, we will contribute to society through the

broad deployment of business that helps to resolve the issues that our clients and society are facing.

As society, industry, and even companies are forced to break away from their preconceived ideas amidst times of turbulent change and uncertainty. We believe this is precisely the time to demonstrate NRI Group's capability and role that we can fulfill. Under our"NRI Group Vision 2030"（V2030）long-term management vision leading up to the year 2030, we will pioneer the era with management and technology fusion as we provide insight on the prosperous lives awaiting people beyond DX and dynamically transform the world with digital social capital (shared infrastructure and services that generate new value through digital technology while supporting society and industry). We will also collaborate with diverse stakeholders in Japan and around the world and co-create social value in order to deliver the"Society We Innovate"pillar of our corporate philosophy - such as (1) a prosperous society that nourishes potential and brings dreams to life, (2) a sustainable society that connects knowledge

to treat the planet wisely, and (3) a resilient society that promotes safety and security.

In addition to social value creation through these types of business, we will position ESG (environmental, social, and governance) as the foundation for them in V2030 and the Medium-Term Management Plan (2023-2025). The NRI Group has also been ahead of the game in usage of renewable energy at data centers, addressing human rights, and strengthening g o v e r n a n c e . W e a r e p u s h i n g f o r w a r d w i t h preparations to evolve these efforts to cover the entire NRI Group, including our overseas businesses, as well as our entire supply chain.

The NRI Group will continue forging full speed ahead toward the creation of a thriving, sustainable future.
