We have positioned "occupational health and safety" as one of the most important issues related to our management base, and are working to eradicate occupational accidents by creating a safe and secure work environment based on the constant awareness of safety among each and every employee.
Based on the "Respect for Human" philosophy of safety, we will realize our management philosophy through our global and diverse business activities, including the development, design, procurement of materials, manufacturing, sales, and quality assurance of products and parts, and through these activities, we will strive to improve and promote continuous and aggressive initiatives for risks and opportunities related to occupational health and safety, with the aim of eliminating occupational accidents.

With a large number of overseas companies, we have established a Language Training Center to foster employees with high language skills, such as English and Chinese, and an international sense at an early stage.
We aim to be a company in which all employees maintain a balance between work and family life, and continue to work while demonstrating higher performance with higher motivation. Our goals are to encourage employees to take annual paid holidays, reduce overtime work hours, raise awareness and understanding of the work-life balance system, maintain the ratio of women hired at 10% or more, and encourage men to take childcare leave or shorten working hours for childcare.
