CEO Message

Driving innovation to enrich people’s lives

Makoto Uchida
President & CEO
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

Since Nissan was established as a company 90 years ago, we have embodied the spirit of "doing what others don't dare to do" in developing innovative products and technologies. We have always demonstrated a passion for innovation, and it is in our DNA to create new value in transforming how we both live and drive.

These are critically important now, especially with three major shifts currently underway in the world: the climate crisis, the rise of social issues such as ageing populations, and increasingly sustainability-conscious customers. These shifts mean that the role of the company is fast evolving. In response, as responsible corporate citizens, we challenge ourselves at Nissan to ask, "Why do we exist?", "What is our role in society?", and "How should we act as a business?"

Nissan Ambition 2030, announced in November 2021, outlines our long-term vision in addressing these shifts. With sustainability at the core of our business, we envision a cleaner, safer and more inclusive world and empower society by creating a smart eco system with integrated mobility through collaboration.

In March 2024, Nissan launched the Arc business plan, reflecting our efforts to further transform Nissan to become a more sustainably profitable company.

Makoto Uchida

The Arc is a bridge to our vision Nissan Ambition 2030. The plan connects our Nissan NEXT transformation plan to our vision to empower mobility and beyond.

In the Arc plan, we have grouped our actions into two parts. First, Nissan will focus on securing volume growth through strong product line up and will take necessary steps to prepare for the future. In parallel, we intend to make EVs cost competitive, optimize our manufacturing and supply chain, enhance our market approach and harness partnerships that will help us realize our vision.

Leveraging our principles of the Nissan Way to guide us, and our corporate purpose to unite us, my aim is to build on the strong foundations that Nissan now has in place to empower mobility and beyond through our global industrial strategy, the fostering of human capital and our cultural diversity and the collective strengths of the Alliance. I look forward to your continued support.
