The importance of DE&I and respect for human rights is universal, but it has become even more so in recent years due to society diversification and the globalization of supply chains. Moreover, we recognize that human rights, an inherent right based on the dignity of all people, is an essential prerequisite for people to live in happiness, just like protecting the Earth's environment.  \nBased on this understanding, SMBC Group will fulfill our  \nGlobal warming, human rights violations, and the widening of poverty and inequality. Due to the prioritization of economic activities on a global scale, creating social value has been put aside, which in recent years has become apparent as an issue in our society. Addressing these issues has become a major theme in corporate management. Nowadays, creating social value has become increasingly important in addition to economic value, and we believe that companies that cannot create social value will lose their right to pursue economic value. This fiscal year, SMBC Group has established social value creation as one of its new management pillars under our new medium-term management plan, \"Plan for Fulfilled Growth.\" As corporate citizens, we aim to contribute to “Fulfilled Growth,”where people can live in happiness, by leading to resolve social issues as well as pursuing economic growth.  \nresponsibility to respect the human rights of all stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, employees, and investors. In doing so, we identify the various negative impacts we may have on the rights of our stakeholders and strive to prevent, mitigate, and remedy them. Fulfilling our responsibility through these efforts will lead to gaining trust from society, as well as ultimately contributing to the improvement of our corporate value and creating a positive impact on society.  \n CEO Message  \nThere are two keywords that I recognize as important in fulfilling our responsibility to respect human rights.  \nThe first is \"employees.\" When managing a financial group, the most important resource is the \"people.\" For employees, their company isone of the most important places in which they fulfill their lives. As CEO, I recognize that it is my important responsibility to provide an environment /workplace for each employee to perform at their best, and to bring out their individual ability to the fullest. SMBC Group consists of several group companies with distinct personalities, andover 110 ,000 diverse employees are working in about 40 countries and regions worldwide.
