For some time, FTSE has been calculating and publishing the FTSE4Good Index Series as the most influential global index of SRI (Socially Responsible Investment), evaluating not only business results and finances but also corporate performance overall, and, now, in response to strong request by Japanese investors and pension funds, the company has added the FTSE4 Good Japan Index, made up solely of Japanese companies, to the series. Takefuji has been registered with the FTSE4 Good Global Index since March 2002. Following publication of the FTSE4 Good Index Series, FTSE removes and selects the issues that make up the index by reviewing the performance of included companies from the perspective of corporate ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) including environmental preservation, constructive relations with various stakeholders and initiatives for the protection of human rights. We see our inclusion also in the FTSE4 Good Japan Index as appreciation of our long perseverance with CSR activities conducted to express our "Sincere Gratitude" to the society that has supported us and helped the corporate growth. In the future, we intend to continue promoting CSR management, which shows even greater consideration for relations with our stakeholders, including customers, stockholders, business partners, local residents and employees.
