Environmental and Social Responsibility Report
Since our inception in 1923, we have championed manufacturing quality and
reliability in keeping with our commitment to customers. We have thus earned an
impressive reputation worldwide as a printing systems provider. But we are not
resting on our laurels. We are striving to improve our position by becoming a truly
global company that supplies products and services that exceed the expectations of
all our customers. We also seek to contribute to social and cultural progress.
In March 2006, we set up the CSR Office to champion our commitment in our
medium- and long-term strategies to fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities.
We established the Internal Audit Office in April 2007 to support our efforts.
These offices are supporting our efforts to safeguard the environment and address
other social demands by comprehensively and exhaustively addressing issues.
I think that global environmental awareness will change dramatically in light of
the July 2008 G8 summit in Toyako, Hokkaido, and the start of the commitment
period under the Kyoto Protocol. Nations have begun tackling global warming, and
European Union members have started to strengthen legislation relating to
chemical substances. Good examples are the Registration, Evaluation and
Authorization of Chemicals system and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances
directive. Japan may look into reinforcing laws to suppress carbon dioxide
emissions.
The printing industry is addressing environmental issues and is striving to
reduce its environmental footprint by enhancing quality and efficiency while
developing and commercializing environmentally friendly products.
We support Save the Children, which is active in more than 115 countries. We
installed donation boxes and supplied posters and other printed materials for that
organization at the International Graphic Arts Show 2007 in Tokyo in September
2007.
We will keep striving to exceed the expectations of our customers as a leader in
offset printing systems, broadening their potential and creating a brilliant new
future for printed communications.
