ASV Value Creation Model
ASV creates a virtuous cycle (the ASV cycle) that reinvests the economic value created by resolving social issues through the Group’s business activities in future business activities, which in turn contributes to the further resolution of social issues. In this way, ASV represents a strategic initiative for realizing sustainable growth. Through the ongoing implementation of the ASV cycle, the Group will enhance corporate value by accumulating value into corporate brand.
