Our corporate philosophy is to "be of service to our customers, employees, shareholders, business partners, and the local community." With the desire to be of help to everyone, and to contribute to the creation of a society where people can live safely and happily, we are engaged in addressing environmental issues. The responsibility of human society towards environmental issues is significant, and this is a role that humanity must fulfill. We sincerely acknowledge the various problems surrounding the global environment, and we will take maximum care to minimize the environmental impact arising from all our activities, while working to prevent environmental pollution. In March 2004, in addition to our commitment to quality, we also obtained certification for the international environmental standard "ISO 14001." Moving forward, we will continue to make further efforts in environmental improvement activities, striving to contribute to the preservation of the global environment.
