Message from the President We sincerely strive to make our activities fully transparent, just like the clear blue sky. On publication of this CSR Report ANA was the first purely privately owned airline to be established upon the resumption of civil aviation in Japan. We are indeed gratified to have continued to provide air transport services of benefit to the public good for more than 50 years, and are deeply indebted to our customers for their patronage. Recently, there has been much focus on corporate social responsibility (CSR). The ANA Group regards the sustainable service of safe and pleasant flying as our foremost responsibility to society. We have taken security and reliability as the very cornerstones of our corporate philosophy, and realize that sustainable safety in the skies is of critical importance in this aspect. This is why our philosophy on safety begins with the statement that safety is the foundation of our business and our promise to the public. This commitment to safety is shared by all of our employees as the most important value. We place our approach to safety above all other priorities. Beginning this year (2005), we present our stakeholders with the CSR activities of our Group in the form of this Report. We sincerely strive to ensure that our corporate activities are fully transparent, just like the clear blue sky. Many points undoubtedly require improvement, and we appreciate your views on the Report so that we may reflect them in ANA’s future CSR activities. In all these efforts, we sincerely appreciate your continued support.
