We aim to achieve constant existence and development, and to grow into a corporate group that enjoys the reliance of local and international society.

The climate surrounding the IBIDEN Group is fraught with dramatic change: the globalization of corporate activities, the intensification of corporate competition across national borders, the accelerating advance of technology, and more. Amid these conditions, the IBIDEN Group has formulated our new corporate philosophy, "IBIDEN Way", as well as the "Global IBI-TECHNO 100 Plan", our six-year mid-term management plan. As we approach 2012, which will mark the centennial of the company's founding, with these two policies as pillars, the IBIDEN Group is aiming to achieve enduring existence and development, and to grow into a corporate group that enjoys the reliance of local and international society.

Ever since our establishment in 1912 as an electric power company to bring growth to the regional economy, the IBIDEN Group has maintained close ties to the local community and the natural environment, and even today we make the practice of corporate social responsibility a major pillar of our management activities. In addition to such activities as continuation of zero emissions of waste materials, prevention of global warming, and improving recycling rates, the IBIDEN Group is contributing to protecting the global environment by offering technologies and products that reduce environmental impact. What is more, we are also advancing such activities as globalization, responding to new risks by expanding our business lines, and enhancing the capabilities and awareness of our employees through human-resource measures that emphasize dialog, and are advancing responsible corporate management with respect to all shareholders.

Our launches of new operations, rapid overseas roll-out, and expansion of company size in recent years have greatly transformed the IBIDEN Group. We will maintain and strengthen such management bases, and continue devoting every effort to achieving solid growth for this newly transformed IBIDEN Group.
