While devoting maximum efforts to ensure the prevention of accidents and disasters, the conservation of the global environment and the safety of our products, the aim of our business activities is to minimize the burden we place on the environment while still striving to ensure people's health and safety. To that end, we promote the "4 safety activities" (safety with regard to quality, the environment, the labor and our equipment), taking this to a higher level with our concept of "safety with peace of mind" as we strive to gain a greater degree of trust from both our customers and society. Furthermore, based on the ISO Management System (quality, environment and workplace), we take a very thorough approach to quality assurance, food safety and chemical safety management. By consistently applying these management systems and further improving our manufacturing technology, we aim to create a safer society with peace of mind and an even greater degree of diversity.
In addition, in FY2008 we aim to improve our crisis management.
