We believe this will lead to vigorous development of our business. Our Company has positioned diversity development as one of its most important management issues, which is clearly stated in the KOBELCO Group's Medium-Term Management Plan, as well as in the messages from the management to employees.

Our Company has set forth its vision, basic policy, and numerical targets called Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for diversity development.
