We should set goals that incorporate means of spreading our CSV, such as finding business opportunities in sustainability elements within the business sector. In doing so, it seems likely that we would be able to further unify our CSR priority measures and 2020 Mid-term Business Plan. ->[Our Group's Efforts] We inquired with specialists regarding means of advancing our CSV based on the group's business, then considered efforts to incorporate CSV into related business divisions. [Proposal 2] Just as there is demand for genuine CSR endeavors, there is also a desire for more polished disclosure of information. We do conduct detailed disclosure of information, such as listing regulatory values and group standards on each site on our environmental data page. However, this data compilation is not limited to environmental data, and could be made readily-comprehensible to readers by indicated year-over-year patterns in primary group-wide ESG data. ->[Our Group's Efforts] Primary ESG data has been made viewable year-over-year.
