People -Create a Pleasant and Rewarding Work Environment-
Background and significance of materiality initiatives
In order for our products to support communities and lifestyles and create value that contributes to solving social issues, numerous resources including our stakeholders such as partner companies and installers are required from stages of development and production to installation and maintenance. While labor shortages are becoming an issue in many economies around the world, we believe that people are the root source of competitiveness and value creation since all business activities are supported by employees. Through initiatives for respecting diversity, ensuring health and safety, and developing human capital, we will continue to innovate, be worker friendly, and help employees find fulfillment in their work with the Group. By maximizing the power of people and the organization, we will continuously improve our corporate value.
