[Message from Chairman Toyoda]

1. Assess every kind of information and enhance your creativity.
I would like each of you to have the ability to assess information. Be sure to be always curious, make an effort to collect information on your own and become a person with broad perspectives and new ideas.

2. You are never alone.
Cherish bonds with other people. No job can be completed by one person. Please do not forget the "importance of working as a team" by understanding each other.

3. Become someone who can play an active role in a global AISIN.
I ask you to become a person who can play an active role globally. For this purpose, be sure to not only become a professional in your own job field but also study the cultural backgrounds of Japan and other countries on a daily basis.

I am counting on your courage to tenaciously tackle and break through difficult problems.
