We will believes that it can contribute to a society in which everyone can feel happy by promoting activities in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights and conducting our global business activities in accordance with the ideas of universality and equality, of inalienability and inviolability to put into practice our values of respecting and understanding our associates.
