In 2010, which marks the 55th anniversary year of the company since its establishment, I am anticipating a year in which we can expect a gentle recovery from recent serious international economic crises. However, there remains a mountain of global problems yet to be solved in the social economy environment surrounding us, and the speed at which perpetual changes are occurring continues to accelerate.
As for me, while I understand that such a momentous era of change provides a chance to create stability and continual growth on a business level, I believe that now is also the time for us demonstrate our true value as we look to the future.
It is because we find ourselves in this era that I will further highlight to all employees and work together towards what has been our motto since the establishment of our company: “Always standing with a global outlook, developing original, effective and sound products to deliver to our customers.”
I am of the opinion that we must contribute to the development of society as reaffirming the importance of fulfilling our corporate social responsibility. It is also essential that we possess the flexibility as well as modesty needed to react to changes occurring in this era and that we steadily press forward with healthy business activities. Furthermore, we must do these things while refining our powers of real aesthetic.
In closing, I would like to request your continued support and understanding.
