Ever since our remote ancestors discovered
how to use fire, we human beings have continued striving to develop
science and technology. Over the long span of human history, science
and technology have constantly helped to improve our standards of
living. Yet, people continue their quest for healthier and more comfortable
living. Today, we are faced with the global challenge of environmental
degradation. I believe that it is the responsibility of all scientists
and engineers to resolve this challenge, for both present and future
generations. Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd. (ISK), in seeking cooperation
from people all over the world, will strive to fulfill this responsibility.
Although the quantities of natural resources on this planet are limited,
human wisdom is unlimited. With this understanding, ISK will continue
pioneering chemical innovation, so as to create a better future for
all.
