Amidst these changes in the business environment, even greater importance is placed on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Could you tell us about MHI's basic approach to CSR? Miyanaga Our business is integrally linked with various social and industrial infrastructures, such as energy and environmental products, environmentally friendly aircraft and rail transit. I believe MHI's greatest social responsibility is to help solve global social issues and create a sustainable society through the diverse range of products and services we offer. At MHI, we uphold our corporate identity statement, "Our Technologies, Your Tomorrow." This statement expresses our commitment to become a trusted global business that values the global environment and contributes to the realization of a sustainable society. I think MHI's approach to CSR is also summarized in this statement. Matsumoto "Our Technologies, Your Tomorrow" -- this is a great phrase that captures profound meaning in just four words. Miyanaga In considering a sustainable society, it's important that we protect and maintain the valued aspects of our society in an ever-changing environment. Our corporate identity statement is our declaration to tackle this task through technology. But this is becoming increasingly more challenging over time. In today's world, economies and societies are advancing impressively, not only in developed countries but also in newly developing countries as well, and technologies have continued to evolve. Meanwhile, the world population has rapidly increased, which will very likely lead to all manners of discord and strife, including environmental issues and ethnic conflicts. Under such circumstances, we must balance economic development and environmental conservation, and it will be crucial that we respect the varying thoughts and opinions around the world in order to realize a sustainable society.
