AGC Group believes that the climate change problem gives it a great opportunity to make contributions to society through its business operations. In the CSR Report, we have introduced specific countermeasures taken by the Group for climate change in the feature articles and also on the pages outlining our environmental activities.

In February 2010, AGC Group established the “AGC Group Social Contribution Basic Policy” incorporating the opinions received at the stakeholder dialogue held in 2009 and through communications within the Group. Adhering to the policy, we will clearly show our ideas about the Group's social contribution activities and further foster these activities, while gaining greater understanding of all our stakeholders.

In this report, we have introduced the measures we have taken for the development and utilization of human resources on the pages on “Respect for People” and have also proactively introduced the specific measures taken by Group companies.
