Communication with Stakeholders

Regarding the targets and progress of our initiatives related to the promotion of sustainability, we will check social demands as appropriate and disclose the information adequately by reflecting the results of external evaluations. We also have two-way communications with various stakeholders, making improvements and developing new initiatives based on their opinions.

We will fulfill our responsibilities to our stakeholders in these two aspects of disclosure and dialogue. At the same time, we will address social issues to pass down a sustainable society to future generations.
