"Tokyo Metro Plan 2024", our mid-term management plan,was drawn up and put into action from April 2022 toaccomplish our "Sustainability Management Vision" whichdefines our attitude toward creating a "sustainable societythat offers peace of mind" for 2030.

As we see signs of the COVID-19 pandemic coming to anend, our passenger fare revenue is starting to recover asmore people have more opportunities to go out thanks toloosened restrictions and other factors. The premises wehad when we drew up the mid-term management planhave changed drastically, and so we decided to revise our"Tokyo Metro Plan 2024".

Furthermore, we encourage employees to be autonomous,challenge themselves and work together, thereby raisingjob satisfaction.
