[Comment from Mr. Ota]
The Group boasts the highest level of design engineering and construction technology capabilities in Japan in bridges and steel structures. In order to use this high level of technological competitiveness to solidify the Group’s number one status also in terms of scale, I will provide support by leveraging my knowledge gained from having engaged in numerous national projects related to steel structures and my experience of having been involved in management of major companies. In addition, I will conduct supervision with a sense of urgency based on the recognition that compliance with the laws and regulations and ensuring safety form the foundation of a company’s existence.
