Stakeholder Engagement

Focusing on dialogue with stakeholders

In order to continue being a company which contributes to society, we value engagement with our stakeholders. For this reason, ESPEC has established a “pledge” for each stakeholder that we want to fulfill by 2025. Based on these pledges, we are focusing on dialogue with each stakeholder, and are working to vitalize communication through a variety of opportunities and mechanisms on a daily basis. As we operate, we are continually considering what is important in order to improve the exchange of value with our stakeholders, and are constructing relationships that better benefit both sides.
