TRANSCRIPT
Thanks to all our cardholders, the Eco Card Fund is now in its 16th year. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all the cardholders who constantly support the fund.
In 2016 the Paris Agreement came into force. This agreement resulted from many countries around the world deciding to undertake efforts to combat climate change. Within Japan also, it is anticipated that society will become increasingly more interested in the global environment.
Since its inception, the Eco Card Fund has addressed the issue of global warming which is a problem shared by both cardholders and our corporate group. We remain steadfast in our commitment to engage in activities emphasising a balance of support for regional economic development and environmental protection in a way that links to fundamental solutions for environmental problems. We will continue as before to make efforts to ful�l the activity policy of the fund and stay �rmly grounded as we undertake these activities while also paying attention to social currents and the views of our cardholders.
I look forward to your continued support.
