President's New Year's Address (Summary)
A new year, 2020, has begun.
Just like last year, the world political and economic situation in 2020 remains uncertain and unpredictable. Furthermore, with abnormal weather events becoming more pronounced, calls for action on climate change are stronger than ever. On the other hand, with the introduction of 5G communications, various automation and efficiency improvements using AI and IoT will accelerate further.
In such a situation, we at Ebara believe that there are many opportunities to contribute to society by utilizing our strengths.
For Ebara, 2020 is the year to launch "E-Vision 2030," which shows how we want to be in 2030, and "Medium-term Management Plan E-Plan 2022," the first step toward realizing that vision. In E-Vision2030, EBARA will consider ESG (environment, society, governance) and contribute to the SDGs, which are sustainable development goals, in order to contribute to society and improve corporate value.
Over the next 10 years, EBARA will continue to support the construction of safe and secure social infrastructure and the industries that realize ever-evolving, prosperous and convenient lifestyles in a sustainable manner. We will also foster a corporate culture that encourages competition and challenge, and create an environment where diverse employees can thrive and feel motivated in their work. And as we work towards a carbon-free society by 2050, we will contribute to society by leveraging Ebara's technologies, such as promoting carbon dioxide reduction, including the maximum use of renewable energy.
Let's sincerely engage with our customers and people inside and outside the company, think and act for ourselves, and passionately support the world with our technology.
