Sustainable Growth through the Promotion of Differentiation Leveraging Alliance Strategies and the Strengthening of Field Capabilities
The International Business segment has strengths in areas such as IT, mobility, and the environment, as well as the promotion of alliance strategies with partner companies. In addition, we conduct business in more than 30 countries and regions around the world. By developing these strengths and focusing on growth businesses and niche areas, we will differentiate our business and aim to achieve sustainable growth while strengthening the field capabilities of our local subsidiaries through the creation of highly engaged workplaces.
CSI and Other Existing Businesses Are Making Good Progress. New US-Finance Joint Venture Established
The International Business segment focuses on the aforementioned strengths and expands the business performance by thoroughly differentiating its business. In fiscal 2022, CSI expanded its operating bases and ITAD service facilities around the world. In the United States, CSI established a finance joint venture for construction machinery through an alliance with partner companies, and also worked to strengthen its dealer function. The data center business we are working on with the NTT Group in Mumbai, India, is also progressing well.

Expansion of Global-Standard ITAD Services
CSI Leasing (CSI)’s wholly owned subsidiary EPC, Inc. (EPC) offers ITAD services, including data erasing and disposal for IT equipment. With a network of 20 offices in eight countries (as of September 30, 2022), EPC is able to provide high-quality, global-standard services worldwide.
The introduction of IT equipment has driven growing demand for ITAD services, especially among global companies that place a high priority on governance and compliance. Furthermore, demand for ITAD services is expected to significantly rise due to the spread of remote work and increase in the number of devices associated with the advancement of 5G and IoT.
EPC seeks to cater to the needs of multinational companies with global-standard ITAD services while also properly reusing and recycling IT equipment around the world. For this reason, CSI will continue to bolster its network, expand alliances with partners, and provide high-quality ITAD services in an ever-broader range of regions.
