## What makes the JS Group strong? 

Strength 3: We Employ Segment-based Management Which Transcends the Bounds of Operating Companies. 

We are optimizing the Group management system by sharing the functions of each operating company, such as sales, R&D and production, with other entities in segments. Furthermore, the newly established Lixil Corporation will play a key role in JS Group integration going forward, including formulating integrated sales strategies cutting across segments. Our segment-based management system reaches across operating companies. That is a strength of the JS Group.
