As a key player in the e-Society, a society full of Ubiquitous Services, OKI aims to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life for people around the world.
We will fulfill our responsibilities to society in accordance with our corporate philosophy.
Meikosha, the predecessor to OKI, was established in 1881 and was Japan's very first manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. Just five years after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in the United States, Meikosha, with an enterprising spirit, took on the challenge of producing telephones in Japan and ultimately succeeded.
Therefore, the drive to take on the challenge of the unknown dates back to the company's inception and continues to be passed down today. This is reflected in our corporate philosophy, which lies at the core of the OKI Group's approach to corporate social responsibility: "The people of OKI, true to the company's enterprising spirit, are committed to creating superior network solutions and providing excellent information and communications services globally to meet the diversified needs of communities worldwide in the information age."
We will contribute as a key player in the e-Society.
The vision of the OKI Group, "OKI, Network Solutions for a Global Society," is also based on our corporate philosophy. As a key player in the e-Society, by which we mean a society full of Ubiquitous Services-services that can be readily used in the desired style, securely and reliably, whenever, wherever and with whatever-we contribute to the improvement of the quality of life through the products and services we supply to our customers.
The OKI Group has a goal of increasing its overseas sales ratio from the current 36% to 50% by the year 2010. With OKI continuing to grow as a global corporation, we recognize that our responsibilities to society are becoming increasingly large and multifaceted. Based on this recognition, we will strengthen corporate governance, and the entire OKI Group will carry out CSR activities on the basis of the OKI Group Charter of Corporate Conduct, which was established in October 2005. We enhanced the CSR Promotion Division in April 2007 in order to bolster our system for promoting CSR.
We will carry out CSR activities that provide peace of mind to all stakeholders.
On the occasion of its 125th anniversary, in November 2006, the OKI Group established a new brand statement, "Open up your dreams." The OKI Group will continue to faithfully and steadily implement CSR activities and further raise corporate value in order to open the door to an ideal, safe and secure society and fulfill our promise to provide greater peace of mind to the many stakeholders involved in the group.
