Smart Spend Program:
Cultivating a Company-Wide Culture of Wise Spending for Sustainable Growth

As a key measure of our Value Creation Plan 2027, PHC Group has launched the internal Smart Spend Program (SSP). This program is not merely about cutting costs, but about enhancing our corporate value sustainably by instilling a company-wide mindset of wise spending to maximize the use of resources.

Through cross-departmental workshops, teams collaborate to consider improvement measures for each expense category, from travel expenses to office supplies. Starting in fiscal year 2025, a Corporate Officer is responsible for the program, with representatives from each business unit bringing their knowledge and expertise to consider ideas and swiftly translate them into proposed measures.

Resources generated through these efforts will be reallocated for new growth investments and business improvements, leading to a better working environment for employees and greater value delivered to our customers. This optimization of resources also helps reduce our environmental impact, playing a crucial role from a sustainability perspective.

By bringing together the collective wisdom of our entire organization, PHC Group will continue to foster a more sustainable corporate culture, creating new synergies through collaboration across departments and regions.
