Masatoshi Aihara, President and Representative Director As of April 2006, we have become SWCC SHOWA HOLDINGS CO., LTD. On this occasion, we wish to announce our new company slogan "Creating for the Future". At a time when attention is being focused on corporate social responsibility, a corporation must be fully aware of global issues-such as those related to the environment-and must grasp them in order to create an effective "future". Our group of companies has a responsibility to solve these problems as we conduct our corporate business, in order to display our social responsibility. In order for our entire group of companies to make social contributions, each employee must be clearly awareness of the issues and must have a sense of responsibility. During this period of transition since the formation of our corporate group, we must promote exchange of human resources among the parent company and subsidiaries in order for each employee to experience jobs with increasing responsibility. In this way, employees will have an opportunity to develop into individuals who are capable of contributing to large-scale projects in which they play socially significant roles. Opportunities to widen the scope of individual awareness are inherent in situations where a variety of people from various companies in our group congregate to tackle large-scale projects. By developing human resources rich in experience and with a sense of responsibility, our staff's broad visions and new ideas will add to the growth of our operations. It is important to have visionary ideas, such as ｡"from cable business to equipment systems and service provision", while also conducting core businesses that form the basis of our group. By contributing both to helping the environment and the needs of our customers, unique ideas and ingenious products will increase the value of our entire group of companies. Providing a safe environment and wining the confidence of the public-our customers, our employees, their families and all the people who are involved with us-is the vision that we hold for the future of our entire group as the representatives of our corporation.
