Our Group’s Purpose—striving to realize the well-being of someone, somewhere through our business activities—is inseparably linked to our efforts to address essential challenges for social sustainability.
Our Group has defined E (Environment), S (Society), G (Governance), and H (Human capital) as material issues, with a continued focus on addressing them through ongoing initiatives.
