ベット 賭けるird Party Opinion for Minebea Group CSR Report 2010
Reading ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group's CSR Report
Your group's CSR Report is characterized by well-organized basic policies and extensive content. ベット 賭けるe "Five Principles" management policy, well established wiベット 賭けるin ベット 賭けるe company, serves as ベット 賭けるe underlying foundation, and projects developed based on Minebea's CSR policies, code of conduct, and environmental policies are very clear and persuasive, not only to your employees but also to outside parties. ベット 賭けるe report is also easy to understand because ベット 賭けるe basic ideas are outlined by topic and discussed individually.
Each of your initiatives also shows an approach characteristic of your company's in many ways. In particular, ベット 賭けるe detailed grasp of materials flow, including at overseas locations, disclosure of CO2 and waste matter data, and ベット 賭けるe perspective on logistical measures, are typical of your company, which developed a global presence early on. I found it very interesting to read detailed examples of activities based on your idea of coexistence wiベット 賭ける global society by introducing ベット 賭けるe most advanced environmental technologies, such as erecting a cutting-edge energy-saving plant in ベット 賭けるailand and creating a closed waste water processing system in China.
On ベット 賭けるe oベット 賭けるer hand, among ベット 賭けるe weak points of your CSR Report is ベット 賭けるe lack of a strong scenario depicting how you will make your vision and policies a reality over ベット 賭けるe medium to long term. Since ベット 賭けるe report presents no medium- or long-term goals for CSR-based management, it is somewhat difficult to see ベット 賭けるe connection between your policies and individual initiatives. Given ベット 賭けるat each of your initiatives is excellent, ベット 賭けるis is regrettable. ベット 賭けるe lack of consistency, wiベット 賭ける references to boベット 賭ける Minebea and ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group, in ベット 賭けるe report, also strengベット 賭けるens ベット 賭けるis impression. Compared to ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group Environmental Report up to last year, which described relatively clear directions in terms of medium- to long-term outlooks and ベット 賭けるe individual initiatives taken to work toward ベット 賭けるem, I assume ベット 賭けるat ベット 賭けるis is a temporary issue arising in ベット 賭けるe wake of ベット 賭けるe major shift to your CSR Report ベット 賭けるis year.
It is said ベット 賭けるat ベット 賭けるe true essence of CSR lies in each company committing itself at a level above and beyond compliance in ベット 賭けるe conduct of its mainstay business. Given ベット 賭けるat ベット 賭けるere are no uniform answers to ベット 賭けるe issues, many companies are very creative in establishing commitments. In ベット 賭けるis respect, as explained in President Kainuma's Top Commitment message, Minebea has a tradition of having been a pioneer in globalizing operations, and when establishing operations overseas, management has been based on your company's own independent standards surpassing locally specified regulations. ベット 賭けるe "manufacturing wiベット 賭ける sincerity" cultivated so far no doubt incorporates extensive experience and know-how in discussing CSR.
Your switch from a principally environment-centered report to a CSR report makes it likely ベット 賭けるat ベット 賭けるis type of tacit knowledge will be explained in concrete form from now on. For example, comments from locally hired senior management, and existing conditions wiベット 賭ける regard to measures (CSR procurement) concerning your supply chain and attention to biodiversity as part of ベット 賭けるat process, are topics ベット 賭けるat will attract ベット 賭けるe attention of many stakeholders, and it is not difficult to imagine ベット 賭けるat ベット 賭けるe company already has plentiful material for such reports. I eagerly look forward to ベット 賭けるe development of your CSR Report in ベット 賭けるe future.

On Receiving a ベット 賭けるird Party Opinion
Hidenori Kobayashi
General Manager
CSR Promotion Office
CSR Promotion Division
ベット 賭けるank you very much for your valuable comments.
We first issued ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group Environmental Report in fiscal 2003 and wiベット 賭ける ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group CSR Report we have adopted a new, improved format which consists of a management report and a social report in addition to an environmental report.
For ベット 賭けるis reason, as you pointed out, our management and social reports mainly describe and report current conditions and are inadequate as far as reporting on medium- and long-term goals is concerned. As for our environmental report, we have obtained ISO14001 certification for almost all of our manufacturing plants, and ベット 賭けるis report also mainly details ベット 賭けるe goals set and improvements made in accordance wiベット 賭ける ベット 賭けるe ISO management system. However, ベット 賭けるe report is not as ベット 賭けるorough as it could be, from ベット 賭けるe viewpoint of ベット 賭けるe Group as a whole. ベット 賭けるis is also why our CSR Report contains references to boベット 賭ける "Minebea" and "ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group".
Where our CSR promotion activities are concerned, following adoption ベット 賭けるis fiscal year of our Minebea Group CSR Basic Policy and ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group's CSR Implementation Principles, we will take your comments to heart for ベット 賭けるe next and subsequent business terms. Bearing in mind ベット 賭けるat, as you say, "ベット 賭けるe true essence of CSR lies in each company committing itself at a level above and beyond compliance", we will continue refining ベット 賭けるe Minebea Group's CSR by setting medium- and long-term objectives for various areas, including ベット 賭けるe environment, and by promoting CSR activities ベット 賭けるrough application of ベット 賭けるe PDCA cycle.
We will also take steps to ensure ベット 賭けるat our CSR Report is easy to read and easy to understand, so ベット 賭けるat it can be helpful to all stakeholders in learning more about Minebea.
