A message from sustainability from Masayoshi Son, representative director, corporate officer, chairman & CEO
Guided by our corporate philosophy, “Information Revolution — Happiness for everyone,” the SoftBank Group continues to grow and advance towards its aim of becoming the corporate group most needed by people around the world.
Concerns over climate change, the widening of economic, racial, and gender inequality, and other challenges are becoming increasingly global and are threatening the perpetuity of not only companies but humankind itself. Also, the recent global upheaval has significantly impacted economic activities and the lives of people around the world.
Our history shows, however, that humanity can utilise its collective wisdom and do its utmost to solve any issue when confronted by a crisis. I believe the SoftBank Group will continue to help solve global challenges and support the sustainability of humankind and the planet by continuously leading the Information Revolution to accelerate innovation that drives technological evolution.
Masayoshi Son, representative director, corporate officer, chairman & CEO
