【1】Corporate Philosophy Regarding CSR Activities
It is needless to say that the ultimate goal of a corporation has always been and will be the "pursuit of profits."
In the past, many corporations in Japan had the philosophy, “a company’s top priority is to make profits above all else,” sacrificing what should have been valued such as the "environment" and the "well-being of employees."
On the other hand, since the concept "the fulfillment of corporate responsibilities" was brought by the West and has spread across Japan, corporations started to be answerable for contribution degree to the whole society more than just "money making".
Under such a background, through the compliance of the laws and regulations related to all of our corporate activities, we Mizuno Handy Harman work on promoting CSR and educating each employees on the basis of four subjects as following description.

【2】Environmental Initiatives
Environmental preservation often requires unexpected expenses.
So there can be the case that environmental preservation measures are left undone, especially in our factories as a result of focusing on just profitabilty of business.
To prevent such a situation, we promote continual environmental management under the mindset that "coexisting with local communities" must be an essential condition for business continuity.
