"This CSR report is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of our values in 2010 and our key goals for the future. We see CSR as a journey rather than a destination. In this and future years' CSR reports, I look forward to demonstrating how we work with corporate responsibility and sustainability, and to continually set exciting new goals in the process."
