Since its establishment in 2013, the Iida Group has provided Customer with safe, comfortable, and healthy living environments based on the business concept of realizing a society in which everyone can own a home. We believe that this concept of ``everyone takes it for granted'' is extremely important in realizing a sustainable society. Our group's mission is to make high-quality products and services readily available to everyone, in other words, to balance the costs necessary for quality improvement and environmental measures with affordability that everyone can enjoy. This will be a key theme. Eliminating concerns about the living environment that supports a rich life will lead to a more spiritually comfortable life, and is the social issue in which the Iida Group can best contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. As a leading company in the housing industry, we will continue to achieve both contribution to solving social issues and growth of our group.

In recent years, we have had more opportunities to face uncertain events that threaten our lives, such as the spread of the new coronavirus infection and natural disasters, and the importance of the living environment, which is the foundation of our daily lives, is once again attracting attention. It is predicted that the homes required in the future will be of High quality and located in favorable locations, with increasing demand for housing functions such as earthquake resistance and environmental performance, and locations with low disaster risk. However, if the purchase price increases as a result, it becomes impossible for everyone to own a home. Indeed, the social issues that the Iida Group must address are to produce results in our core business, and this is also the closest path to the goal of solving them. To this end, the Iida Group will continue to provide Good price housing by promoting standardization and standardization of quality control within the group, further improving our ability to reduce construction costs and secure favorable locations.

Furthermore, by centrally addressing the ownership of forest resources and the utilization cycle of wood, we aim to maintain a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and absorption and realize a carbon-neutral society. For forests owned by the company, we are working to further reduce our environmental impact by formulating logging plans based on the age of trees, and by using felled timber to construct single-family homes, condominiums, office buildings, etc. I am.

Human resource management will become more important than ever as the driving force behind these corporate activities. The Iida Group's management policy is to create a ``lively and attractive workplace where employees can take on challenges and find their work rewarding.'' In order to create an environment where employees can grow and demonstrate their abilities, and promote initiatives that support diverse work styles, we have identified improving the workplace environment as a materiality, and human capital management that maximizes the use of diverse human resources as an organization. We will continue to move forward.
