After completing the restructuring that began in November 2016, it will be crucial to further hone these strengths and fulfill our role as the “new eyes for people and industry” in order to create new value and support our growth strategies. Our vision formulated in 2017 will guide us in fostering corporate culture in which each employee is encouraged to think about what is necessary in order to accomplish growth and to tackle the challenges this introspection reveals. With this culture, everyone at Nikon will unite in our quest to consistently create corporate value. Nikon Report 2018 puts a spotlight on the value we have provided thus far and the strengths cultivated over the years. Moreover, the report seeks to communicate the basis for the growth strategies to be implemented after the completion of the restructuring and the tasks that will need to be addressed in order to effectively implement those strategies.
