Inabata Group is making dedicated efforts to ensure that our corporate value continues to increase for all of our stakeholders.
For an international trading firm such as ours, human resources are our greatest assets. It is thus only natural that we should place top priority on the development of people. For Inabata to bring its unique functions and distinctive services into full play, it is essential to develop highly skilled individuals who are capable of offering advanced expertise and creative planning. At Inabata, investment in people assumes the greatest importance along with investment in technology.
On the business front, we will further reinforce consolidated management across the globe, so as to expand the seamless network which covers all of our business segments and geographic regions. Our extensive network allows us to exploit emerging opportunities in potential markets such as the environment and energy, through materials, applications, and regional strategies. This network is one of Inabata's most competitive features.
Meanwhile, in order to improve capital efficiency, we intend to reinforce our lean and mean approach to asset management, thus strengthening our financial position. In more concrete terms, we will continue to review our existing schemes for loans and investments. In making new investments, we will ensure returns which are commensurate with their capital.
We will continue to involve all of the Group companies in the enhancement of internal control systems, while at the same time making greater efforts to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
We will put everything we have into these efforts using an integrated approach. We look forward to your continued understanding and support.
