Building a better working world

Risks in Japan are increasingly diverse: we see risks which we never previously imagined. In this context, we should expect that there will never be zero risk. However, I consider the safety and well-being of our personnel as a top priority, adopt preventative measures where possible and if there are identifiable risks, address them at the earliest opportunity. In addition, by raising awareness of new risks, I aim to minimize their impact and reduce any associated risks.

I support sustained and responsible growth in Japan and will act as a business enabler  to build a better working world.
