At the Sony Group, we are committed to our Purpose centered on Kando and our corporate direction of getting closer to people, as we take on the challenge of achieving further growth. In our fifth Mid-Range Plan, which began in FY2024, based on the theme "Beyond the boundaries: Maximize Synergies across the Group," we are strengthening efforts to realize Group-wide synergies and further enhance our resilience to changes in the business environment, as we continue to strive to increase our corporate value.
Across the Group, each business is leveraging its unique strengths to achieve sustainable growth. For example, in the Game & Network Services segment, we connect players with their friends through gameplay. In the Music segment, we are achieving growth through our efforts to build strong relationships with an expanding roster of outstanding talent, streaming platforms, and audiences. The Pictures segment serves as a hub for cross-company collaborations, including film and TV adaptations of game IP. In the Entertainment, Technology & Services segment, we are expanding our sports business and creating technologies and solutions that expand the boundaries of content production. Meanwhile, in the Imaging & Sensing Solutions segment, image sensors provide a critical technological foundation that supports a wide range of businesses. In addition, anime has become an important growth area spanning multiple businesses across the Group.
The "Creative Entertainment Vision," the long-term vision that we defined in 2024, envisions a future where, in a multi-layered world where the physical and the virtual overlap, we will work with creators to create and deliver endless Kando, through the power of creativity and technology. Towards this future, we plan to work together with creators, fans, and our partners to steadily maximize the value of our IP beyond existing boundaries, while continually evolving the diversity of our businesses and people to achieve further growth.
