Climate change is most clear in the polar regions: Arctic Sea ice is shrinking to historic lows and the Antarctic had a massive outbreak of 'snow algae,' the result of rising temperatures.
While humanity enjoys the benefits of the global environment, phenomena like these must be seen as warning signs.
To leave a magnificent global environment for future generations, we aspire to create an environmentally harmonious society through products and services, and to contribute to environmental conservation as a global citizen.
To achieve these goals, environmental action has been made one of the pillars of our corporate management. The Environmental Vision lays out the 'blueprint'for a future society, while the Sustainability Compass directs our activities toward the specific targets outlined in the Environmental Action Plan. We will also use information disclosure and dialogue to continue working with our stakeholders toward a sustainable future.
