Read the Event Summary.

Speaker
Tomoyo Nonaka, Chairman, SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.

Presider
Naomi Moriyama, President, The Moriyama Group


Last June, Tomoyo Nonaka was chosen as SANYO Electric’s Chairman, joining the still select ranks of Japan’s female top executives.  With SANYO having posted a record loss just prior to her appointment, Ms. Nonaka’s tasks to streamline the firm’s business offerings and restore customer faith were formidable.  The company’s recently-announced corporate vision, “Think GAIA” is Ms. Nonaka’s recipe for rebuilding and establishing SANYO as a leading provider of Environment and Energy related products.  Ms. Nonaka will discuss the company’s plans to be more responsive to sustainable development issues by focusing its business on energy solutions such as photovoltaic systems, rechargeable batteries, HEV battery systems as well as water conservation and treatment and high-efficiency HVAC equipment.  She will also highlight the creation of the “SANYO Evolution Project,” a project designed to implement the ‘Think GAIA’ vision, underlying the company’s responsibility to its customers, society and the environment.
