In its business activities, a company faces a variety of societal issues that often include the environment or human rights. We believe it is vitally important to tackle those issues while pursuing sustainable growth. We need to face each of these problems head on and continue to engage in dialogues and other forms of communication with our stakeholders to actively remind ourselves not to become complacent.
