Context of the 2026 New Beginnings

2. Support for Achieving a Carbon-Neutral and Circular Society
3. Development, Implementation, and Deployment of Technologies and Solutions Addressing Social Issues
4. Creation of a Work Environment that Promotes Collaboration and Challenges
5. Strengthening Governance through Compliance with Laws and Social Norms

These five focal points represent the social value and business direction that Watering Company associates with its long-term vision. Positioned as a compass for future management and business operations, they will guide the company’s strategic endeavors as each employee aligns their efforts towards these objectives. With the addition of new colleagues in 2026, the entire workforce is pledged to embody the “Watering Value” as they work diligently towards the comprehensive management plan and the ultimate realization of "Watering City Development".
