Under our current 5th Medium-Term Management Plan, we have established a policy of “devoting around 0.5% of non-consolidated profit after the payment of dividends to social contribution.” We are strengthening our support for culture and the arts, sports, health care, education, and environmental protection within Japan, as well as eliminating poverty, health care and medical promotion, and education promotion overseas.
