Importance of Realizing the Sustainability

The Roland business contributes to the sustainable development of the society through its musical and video culture while, at the same time, it is supported by the stability and affluence of the environment and the entire society. In addition, we are aware that it is an important duty that a corporation should assume to confront in earnest such issues as those related to climate change or human rights and to contribute to the solution of those.

Aiming at avoiding the occurrence of the negative chain reaction in which the stability or sustainability of the environment or of the society is damaged causing the musical and video cultures or our company's business not to be able to exist any longer, we are taking actions as our managerial materiality in order to create a virtuous cycle where each one heightens the other one's sustainability.
