For our company to achieve sustainable development by upholding the corporate philosophy of “creating excitement and peace of mind for the people of the world,” JVCKENWOOD believes that it is important to have the trust of society and to continue to contribute to society in order to meet the expectations of all of our stakeholders.
We place importance on promoting sustainability activities through our business activities.
