As a good corporate citizen
|
Based on an even better relationship with the environment
and society, Nittobo aims at "contributing to a more healthy
and comfortable lifestyle." |
 |
We must be involved with protecting our precious environment.
We must also develop our business activities while complying with
the law and our corporate philosophy.
We must also have open and mutual communication with each of our
stakeholders to establish even better relationships.
At Nittobo, we are positively engaged in the establishment and implementation
of this type of system,
in order to gain even wider trust from society, and to increase the
value of the company.
We believe that "contributing to a more healthy and comfortable
lifestyle" at which Nittobo is aiming,
must be realized along with the "social responsibility of a
corporate citizen." |
