We are strengthening our compliance systems for the management of personal information and adherence to relevant laws and regulations.In addition, we are revising our employment regulations to incorporate clear policies, training programs, and consultation mechanisms aimed at preventing harassment.Through these efforts, we strive to be a company that earns the trust of all stakeholders, including members of the local community.
