Dear employees

The Integrated Report comprehensively contains our company's current activities and medium- to long-term goals.

In particular, I would like to ask all the managers, supervisors and group leaders to look through the related websites to understand the overall activities of our company.

Also, please actively use the Report as a tool to communicate with external parties such as customers and business partners.

Of course, I also will use it aggressively in my top sales.

I strongly believe that if each and every employee knows and understands the path that the company is taking, and if we can move forward as one team, it will provide the foundation for a flexible and strong organization.

Our Group will create social value through further enhancement of corporate value and public interest value by enhancing information disclosure through various media, including the Integrated Report and CSR information website.
