Deep bonds with residents are an important asset for the Group. We aim to be the No. 1 company in each of our businesses in terms of market share and mindshare. We aim to be a partner that is always enriching and close to residents. To achieve this goal, we have set the following 3 key themes as the pillars of our efforts to contribute to the sound and sustainable development of local communities:

• deepening local bonds
• nurturing local children
• protecting and passing on the richness of local nature

Whilst “deepening local community bonds” signifies to us the bonds between residents and the group, we also believe that it is important for residents to deepen their bonds with each other and enhance their sense of unity. A community is made up of each one of its residents. We believe that if each one of us co-exist, works together and forms bonds that transcend age, it will become a rich and comfortable place to live. Our group will continue to help with this through our business activities.

The presence of healthy children energizes the future of the community. Our group would like to create opportunities for children to grow and learn and provide them with new encounters and discoveries. The phrase "nurturing the children of the community" also includes our desire to look after the families around the children, in addition to the children's own growth. As family lifestyles are changing, with telework becoming the norm, we recognize that it is also our role to provide support.

Environmental issues are increasing day by day. In addition to preserving the global environment from the perspective of climate change and resource recycling, the group hopes to create better communities with the help of its residents, being particularly committed to protecting the rich natural environment of the region and passing it onto the next generation and beyond.

As the times and the environment change drastically, ourgroup will continue to look 10 years into the future, refine our existing businesses, seek new business models and engage in daily activities to become a company that is loved by the local community and residents.
 

Our group's management philosophy is "to remain indispensable to the local communities through our activities of providing a model of lifestyle to local residents", as well as treating our bonds with the residents as an important asset for our group. We have grown thanks to the many benefits we have received from our local communities

As a member of the local community, we would like to continue to contribute to the sound and sustainable development of the local community.

Starting in April 2021, centered on contribution to local communities, we will position three priority themes and two basic themes, as the materiality of the group and promote initiatives.
