The Hitachi Metals Group's management philosophy,
since its founding, has been to "contribute to society by creating
'the best possible company'". This philosophy is also appropriately
reflected in the Hitachi Metals Group's policies toward CSR.
Being "the best possible company" requires us to change with the
times. This means being flexible in our response to the needs of
society, and achieving sustainable growth for the Group through ever
greater individual effort from each and every employee to become
a company that is able to contribute to society.
The CSR activities of the Hitachi Metals Group are aimed at realizing
the ideal of "the best possible company." The sustainable growth
the Group needs to achieve this is impossible without CSR. The Group's
approach to CSR is that it is that compliance is the foundation of
CSR activities, on top of which is built corporate activities that
achieve a harmony of economic, social and environmental considerations.
While remaining constantly aware of our responsibility as a member
of society, we conduct business while maintaining good relationships
with a diverse range of shareholders. A corporation cannot exist
without the trust of its stakeholders. To win that trust we conduct
our business with sincerity and transparency, while continually refining
our sensitivity to the needs of the times. By achieving sustainable
growth with CSR at the heart of our management, we seek to become "the
best possible company" able to contribute to the creation of a better
society. |
