One of Hitachi's founding spirits is sincerity. From our earliest days, we highly valued strong ethics. Yet, the standards and norms expected of us today are undergoing major changes—against a backdrop of increasingly global enterprise, coupled with more diverse stakeholders. To adapt, we must not only adhere to international standards and guidelines, but ensure management transparency and find mutual understanding with stakeholders. In addition, we will take the initiative to set new social norms and standards of expectation. As a global corporation, we want to boost every employee's ethical awareness while respecting human rights, cultural diversity and values. In addition, our other activities need to be socially beneficial and build stronger ties of trust with society as a whole.
