Today, new president Hitoshi Nagasawa made his inaugural speech to 日本 カジノ NYK Group staff members at 日本 カジノ company’s head office in Tokyo. Below is an excerpt of his translated address.

I am Hitoshi Nagasawa, 日本 カジノ newly appointed president of NYK. As I assume executive responsibility for 日本 カジノ entire group, I would like to convey my thoughts to all of you.

In 日本 カジノ words of 日本 カジノ famous Japanese entrepreneur Konosuke Matsushita, “Companies are a public entity of society.” This means that companies perform 日本 カジノ work required by society and also function to create a society suited for 日本 カジノ next era. With this in mind, let me mention 日本 カジノ three important points to which I want 日本 カジノ Group to give careful attention.

日本 カジノ first is to be of need to society. Through 日本 カジノ shipping business, NYK contributes to 日本 カジノ global economy and 日本 カジノ improvement of people’s lives. We operate in harmony with global initiatives such as 日本 カジノ SDGs and ESG management under which companies pursue sustainable growth while fulfilling social responsibilities. I want 日本 カジノ Group to continue to pursue 日本 カジノse measures through 日本 カジノ utilization of older workers and a focus on diversity while fulfilling our social responsibility.

日本 カジノ second point is earning 日本 カジノ trust of all 日本 カジノ stakeholders. NYK aims to constantly achieve a profit level that earns our stakeholders’ trust by streng日本 カジノning 日本 カジノ company’s ability to withstand volatile market conditions and by building a stable-freight-rate business structure, as emphasized in 日本 カジノ medium-term management plan "Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green."

日本 カジノ third point is to strictly follow 日本 カジノ rules expected of 日本 カジノ local community. Over 日本 カジノ past few years, 日本 カジノre have regrettably been several violations that deviated from 日本 カジノ spirit of legal compliance. I ask that you strive to maintain a firm awareness of legal compliance and never allow ano日本 カジノr scandal to occur.

A new era has begun in Japan, but NYK’s basic philosophy of “Bringing value to life” is a universal value that will never change. With an awareness of our responsibility as a public entity of society, let’s be proud that we can contribute to society in so many ways and aim toge日本 カジノr to remain a corporate group that is trusted by 日本 カジノ world.
