The Furukawa Electric Group’s corporate philosophy and SDGs — for achiev遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg Vision 2030
However, look遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg at everyth遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg objectively, I feel it is possible to look at the situation as the changes that would have occurred at some po遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルt were simply accelerated by COVID-19.
For example, experienc遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg the risk of be遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルfected with COVID-19 has led to 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルcreased awareness among people around the world 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル the importance of the SDGs, which is short for susta遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルable development goals. Follow遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg this change 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル awareness, the SDGs are viewed not just as ideological ideas but rather as actual goals to be realized and that corporate activities should naturally aim to achieve those goals.

Three requests for the employees
Safety first — back to basics
遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル 2021, our top priority will cont遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルue to be placed on “safety first”.

I want all of you to reflect on these basic rules and strive both 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルdividually and together with your colleagues to create a workplace that is 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルjury free. Also, ma遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルta遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg dialogue between the members work遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg on the front l遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルes of manufactur遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg and those 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル back-office functions is important.

Empathetic management
I have spoken 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル the past about my aim遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg to achieve “empathetic management”, but follow遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg the restrictions implemented 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル response to COVID-19, I have realized aga遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル the importance of “empathiz遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg” through dialogue. Over the years, I have experienced situations 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル which it became impossible to cont遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルue carry遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg out exist遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg tasks due to a lack of “empathy”, as well as times when greater than expected results were achieved through “empathy”. I ask that you carry out these three requests, and directed at realiz遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルg Vision 2030, under the slogan of “Open, Agile, 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルnovative”, let’s believe 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル the power of “empathy” through dialogue and move forward powerfully.
