Contribution to industry and social initiatives
Awareness of issues
In addition to the understanding of local communities, we recognize the importance of developing together
with local
communities in order to conduct business activities, including production at plants. To this end, we
are conducting
social contribution activities, such as volunteer activities, at our plants and offices around the
world.
At the same time, the Group recognizes that it has an important role to play in helping companies resolve
global issues
that cannot be addressed by the Group alone, such as by providing ongoing donations for the UN's refugee
support
activities.
