Activities in Japan

In Japan

Specific activities are contained in CSR activity programs formulated by the 28 business units in the headquarters, which are implemented using a PDCA cycle and drawing on interviews and advice from both inside and outside the organization. During Fiscal Year 2009, we will increase the number of units formulating plans to 31 business units and set numerical targets wherever possible so that the objective of "strengthening CSR management" in the mediumterm management plan can be reflected in the CSR program as well.
