Integrated Report

Integrated Report 2021
[The full online version]

Starting from 2020, we issue an Integrated Report that integrates financial information, such as business results, and non-financial information, such as CSR activities, into a single report.
We thereby aim at providing a variety of our stakeholders with our business performance/operations/strategies, and initiatives and approaches for sustainability, in an easy-to-understand manner.

About the Cover

The cover illustration depicts an image of the "Ikoi no Mori" (comfort forest), biotope of the Shizuoka Plant. In Ikoi no Mori, flowers and trees change with the turning of the seasons, and waterfowls such as kingfishers visit. It is a place where quiet and motion coexist, and healing scenery can be enjoyed.
