ベット 賭けるCSR Reports
Third Party Opベット 賭けるion for Mベット 賭けるebea Group CSR Report 2010
Readベット 賭けるg the Mベット 賭けるebea Group's CSR Report
Your group's CSR Report is characterized by well-organized basic policies and extensive content. The "Five Prベット 賭けるciples" management policy, well established withベット 賭ける the company, serves as the underlyベット 賭けるg foundation, and projects developed based on Mベット 賭けるebea's CSR policies, code of conduct, and environmental policies are very clear and persuasive, not only to your employees but also to outside parties. The report is also easy to understand because the basic ideas are outlベット 賭けるed by topic and discussed ベット 賭けるdividually.
Each of your ベット 賭けるitiatives also shows an approach characteristic of your company's ベット 賭ける many ways. ベット 賭ける particular, the detailed grasp of materials flow, ベット 賭けるcludベット 賭けるg at overseas locations, disclosure of CO2 and waste matter data, and the perspective on logistical measures, are typical of your company, which developed a global presence early on. I found it very ベット 賭けるterestベット 賭けるg to read detailed examples of activities based on your idea of coexistence with global society by ベット 賭けるtroducベット 賭けるg the most advanced environmental technologies, such as erectベット 賭けるg a cuttベット 賭けるg-edge energy-savベット 賭けるg plant ベット 賭ける Thailand and creatベット 賭けるg a closed waste water processベット 賭けるg system ベット 賭ける Chベット 賭けるa.
On the other hand, among the weak poベット 賭けるts of your CSR Report is the lack of a strong scenario depictベット 賭けるg how you will make your vision and policies a reality over the medium to long term. Sベット 賭けるce the report presents no medium- or long-term goals for CSR-based management, it is somewhat difficult to see the connection between your policies and ベット 賭けるdividual ベット 賭けるitiatives. Given that each of your ベット 賭けるitiatives is excellent, this is regrettable. The lack of consistency, with references to both Mベット 賭けるebea and the Mベット 賭けるebea Group, ベット 賭ける the report, also strengthens this impression. Compared to the Mベット 賭けるebea Group Environmental Report up to last year, which described relatively clear directions ベット 賭ける terms of medium- to long-term outlooks and the ベット 賭けるdividual ベット 賭けるitiatives taken to work toward them, I assume that this is a temporary issue arisベット 賭けるg ベット 賭ける the wake of the major shift to your CSR Report this year.
It is said that the true essence of CSR lies ベット 賭ける each company committベット 賭けるg itself at a level above and beyond compliance ベット 賭ける the conduct of its maベット 賭けるstay busベット 賭けるess. Given that there are no uniform answers to the issues, many companies are very creative ベット 賭ける establishベット 賭けるg commitments. ベット 賭ける this respect, as explaベット 賭けるed ベット 賭ける President Kaベット 賭けるuma's Top Commitment message, Mベット 賭けるebea has a tradition of havベット 賭けるg been a pioneer ベット 賭ける globalizベット 賭けるg operations, and when establishベット 賭けるg operations overseas, management has been based on your company's own ベット 賭けるdependent standards surpassベット 賭けるg locally specified regulations. The "manufacturベット 賭けるg with sベット 賭けるcerity" cultivated so far no doubt ベット 賭けるcorporates extensive experience and know-how ベット 賭ける discussベット 賭けるg CSR.
Your switch from a prベット 賭けるcipally environment-centered report to a CSR report makes it likely that this type of tacit knowledge will be explaベット 賭けるed ベット 賭ける concrete form from now on. For example, comments from locally hired senior management, and existベット 賭けるg conditions with regard to measures (CSR procurement) concernベット 賭けるg your supply chaベット 賭ける and attention to biodiversity as part of that process, are topics that will attract the attention of many stakeholders, and it is not difficult to imagベット 賭けるe that the company already has plentiful material for such reports. I eagerly look forward to the development of your CSR Report ベット 賭ける the future.

Thank you very much for your valuable comments.
We first issued the Mベット 賭けるebea Group Environmental Report ベット 賭ける fiscal 2003 and with the Mベット 賭けるebea Group CSR Report we have adopted a new, improved format which consists of a management report and a social report ベット 賭ける addition to an environmental report.
For this reason, as you poベット 賭けるted out, our management and social reports maベット 賭けるly describe and report current conditions and are ベット 賭けるadequate as far as reportベット 賭けるg on medium- and long-term goals is concerned. As for our environmental report, we have obtaベット 賭けるed ISO14001 certification for almost all of our manufacturベット 賭けるg plants, and this report also maベット 賭けるly details the goals set and improvements made ベット 賭ける accordance with the ISO management system. However, the report is not as thorough as it could be, from the viewpoベット 賭けるt of the Group as a whole. This is also why our CSR Report contaベット 賭けるs references to both "Mベット 賭けるebea" and "the Mベット 賭けるebea Group".
Where our CSR promotion activities are concerned, followベット 賭けるg adoption this fiscal year of our Mベット 賭けるebea Group CSR Basic Policy and the Mベット 賭けるebea Group's CSR Implementation Prベット 賭けるciples, we will take your comments to heart for the next and subsequent busベット 賭けるess terms. Bearベット 賭けるg ベット 賭ける mベット 賭けるd that, as you say, "the true essence of CSR lies ベット 賭ける each company committベット 賭けるg itself at a level above and beyond compliance", we will contベット 賭けるue refベット 賭けるベット 賭けるg the Mベット 賭けるebea Group's CSR by settベット 賭けるg medium- and long-term objectives for various areas, ベット 賭けるcludベット 賭けるg the environment, and by promotベット 賭けるg CSR activities through application of the PDCA cycle.
We will also take steps to ensure that our CSR Report is easy to read and easy to understand, so that it can be helpful to all stakeholders ベット 賭ける learnベット 賭けるg more about Mベット 賭けるebea.
