Misao Nozawa
Everyone has their own unique way of thinking, living and working
because no one person is the same as anyone else.

I hope we can build a company where diverse human resources
who have different perspectives, inspirations and values can reach
their full potential by first noticing the differences between people
and then recognizing one another.
FDK will further strengthen systems so that people can choose
the most efficient work style suited to the changes brought on by life
events to create the Best Work Life Balance Company in electronics
industry in which every employee can continue to actively
participate while enjoying a work-friendly environment.
