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.

ANA’s CSR As a company trusted by society

Corporate governance in the ANA Group The key words for corporate governance in the ANA Group are “transparency” and “strategy.” Assurance of transparency is essential for a trusted enterprise. This Report itself is a means of accountability to our stakeholders by disclosing information on our CSR activities. Our executive organization and internal control system also reflect a keen awareness of the need for transparency and objectivity. Our aspiration to become one of the leading airline groups in Asia similarly requires efforts to increase our competitiveness and corporate value. This, in turn, demands effective and prompt determination of business policies. As such, we are also striving for the improved and enhanced corporate governance needed for strategic decision-making.

High level of ethics expected of the ANA Group

In the ANA Group, compliance is not merely a matter of obeying the law; it encompasses activities to meet the expectations of all stakeholders (such as customers, shareholders, transaction partners, investors and the community) and disclosure of information to the same. The Group is based on air transportation, which is a means of public transportation. I feel we must be highly ethical on the basis of safety. Only a few years have passed since the scheme was introduced, and we would therefore like to prepare many more opportunities to further share the concept behind compliance and concrete actions with the highly skilled employees of our subsidiaries, each with their own specialized work.

Approach to Safety Aiming for the world’s highest levels of safety

Safety in the ANA Group The perception of safety at the foundation of our business is firmly rooted by all employees of the ANA Group as the key concept. But this is not a goal for us, as one can never do enough in terms of ensuring safety. We are doing our utmost to maintain safety at all times. We must ensure safety and the comfort that it affords. We are acutely aware of the strong concern about safety among our customers. Therefore, we will provide timely and transparent information on safety. Through such efforts, I believe we will remain trustworthy in the eyes of our customers. We can hope for nothing more than to continue being viewed as safe and reliable by our customers through the assurance of safety. We will continue to march resolutely ahead with our dedication to safety.

With the increasing number of airline partnerships, we are now responsible for providing safe flights for ever-increasing numbers of passengers from around the world. The quality of safety is something that is not visibly quantifiable. For us, taking up the challenge of meeting the IOSA standards and obtaining such registration was a crucial milestone that compelled us to find ways to deliver a quality of this kind beyond global norms and a comfort for our customers. The undertaking rested on a unified effort by all units of the company as well as leadership and partnership across all fields.

(Reliable, Warm, Enthusiastic !)” We are doing our utmost to elevate the status of the ANA brand towards our goal of ranking first for services, with features that really impress customers. In a sense, a company’s brand is shaped by the customers’ ratings of its activities. In the ANA Group, we are also making a determined effort to build up the brand ourselves. While this may be impracticable in certain respects, it is but another example of our “Anshin, Attaka, Akaruku- genki!” spirit. We also believe in the importance of listening to our customers’ views. We regard the voice of our customers as the key to improving services and creating corporate value. We are always considering ways to better reflect it in our services. Thus far, we have received numerous precious insights from our customers. While there have also been complaints, the frank opinions will help make ANA even better tomorrow. We look forward to comments on all aspects of our service from our customers. Naturally, we are always delighted to hear a few words of approval.

Approach to the Environment For contribution to a sustainable society

Environmental Activities of the ANA Group The airline industry imposes what is definitely not an inconsiderable burden on the environment through its consumption of fossil fuels and the accompanying emission of carbon dioxide. Bearing this firmly in mind, we intend to do our best to preserve the environment. We have entered an age requiring consciousness of our position as a global corporate citizen. Approaches to environmental problems are now the duty of everyone on our planet. Across the ANA Group, we actively endeavor to contribute to society through a heightening of awareness among our employees and participation in campaigns for environmental preservation under the banner “Thinking of People and the Earth.” As a member of society, we are determined to do what we can to help Japan and other countries restore the earth of its former beauty and create a global environment conducive to all living creatures.

Washing Engines Adoption of LED Flashlights for Better Performance

Our mechanics have switched to using light emitting diode (LED) type flashlights. Those used for aircraft maintenance consume an enormous number of type D batteries on night shifts (in fiscal 2002, ANA’s maintenance departments consumed 133,000 batteries). Therefore, we looked LED Flashlight into LED flashlights in July 2002.

Aozora International Environmental Picture Book Competition

Our management philosophy emphasizes our commitment to being a familiar presence and to offer dreams and experience to people around the world. We are working to fulfill this commitment in all aspects, and the environmental aspect is no exception. We have positioned environmental conservation as one of our top priorities, and undertaken studies to seek what action we should take to put our philosophy into practice. As one of the environmental activities, we came up with the idea of holding this competition. The competition is open to people of all ages in all countries. Entrants will consider how to clearly convey environmental issues to children as tomorrow’s leaders, in terms they understand, through a picture book. We hope that the submission of entries will serve to stimulate thoughts on environmental problems.
