Moving to a Pure Holding Company Structure

The environment in which Dentsu, Inc., and the Dentsu Group operates is rapidly changing and evolving. Faced with this environment, in December 2018 the Company made the decision to move to a pure holding-company structure in January 2020.
This decision was based on the view that in order to respond appropriately and speedily to an array of changes and achieve sustainable growth for the Group, it is imperative to realize timely acquisition and allocation of internal and external management resources, further promote diversity in human resource management and the development of an open corporate culture, and establish a structure that will realize optimal Group corporate governance.
On January 1, 2020, Toshihiro Yamamoto became the first president of the pure holding company named Dentsu Group Inc. of which trade name was renamed from Dentsu Inc.
The Dentsu Group will continue striving to enhance the level of specialization and capabilities in integration in both domestic and overseas markets, while simultaneously working to expand the foundations underpinning its operations. As the “One Dentsu” global network, which contributes to support for business growth at client companies, we will strive to accelerate reforms aimed at realizing sustainable growth.
