We have established the "Social Contribution Policy" based on our Corporate Philosophy and Materiality. The Policy defines three strategic areas such as "Diversity of human resources and work styles", "Supporting the minimization of inequality in society" and "Environmental protection". As a way of investing in "Diversity of human resources and work styles", we will support the prosperity of life in the local communities through the direct supports of local sport teams and employment opportunities to athletes. In the communities where we conduct our business, we share the values and interests of the communities over the long term and work toward integration with the communities. At the same time, we will continue to contribute to the communities also as an initiative to nurture the next generation.
