We conduct business activities with the determination to contribute to society, under the Group Mission " - Providing prosperity and comfort to people and society, with our unique technology." We believe that promoting sustainability activities is equivalent to practicing the Group Mission. Based on this belief, we take a comprehensive view of our corporate behavior that encompasses the economy, society and the environment. We therefore prioritize corporate governance, compliance, Responsible Care, risk management, human rights and labor, social contribution, and information disclosure. In implementing actions to increase our corporate value, we emphasize dialogue with our customers, business partners, employees, the communities we serve, public administrators, shareholders and investors and all other stakeholders. We also endeavor to solve social issues through business activities, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
