By strengthening our internal control functions through proactively developing "activities for advancing compliance and risk management" and by augmenting and strengthening the management-oversight functions of our board of directors and the audit functions of our auditors, we are creating a transparent corporate control system that can accommodate the reliance of our shareholders and society.
By achieving thoroughgoing commitment to "compliance with Japanese and overseas laws, our articles of incorporation, internal regulations, and corporate ethics" and through open and fair corporate activities, we aim to be a company that international society relies on.
With respect to risks to corporate value that can have major impact on the smooth management of operations by the group, we enable continuation of operations by reducing and preventing recurrence of loss of corporate value for all shareholders.
We give consideration to the impact of our corporate activities on the global environment and aim to achieve harmony between the environment and our business activities through environmental management. Amid this, we aim to become the enduring company capable of growth as set forth in our mid-term management plan, and are striving to become "a technology-development company with added value for our operations and creating corporate value." Further, we aim to achieve social responsibility through "creation of a sustainable society and reduction of greenhouse gases."
By engaging in global corporate-citizen activities matched to the cultures and customs of the countries and regions where we are active, including carrying out activities such as creating environments for daily living where we can give full play to our own distinctive features as a corporation and developing local human resources, and also by participating in and supporting organizations conducting such activities, we aim to become a company that international society relies on.
