I want to thank each of you.

Associates in every region have been touched by this pandemic, and I know many are worried about your health, and the health of your loved ones. Some of you are worrying about the production shut down of factory where you were working, or spending stressful
days in unusual and uncertain situation. I want to extend sympathy to all who have lost someone to COVID-19 or who have a loved one who is sick. I hope you are taking good care of yourselves. That is most important.

I promise that DENSO will take every epidemic preventive action in order to protect life and health of associates. You know, each of you are most important, above everything else. And, we will keep considering every measure to make sure we support you in regard to

The situation changes day by day, and we cannot predict when it will end. To stand before this unparalleled crisis, we need the combined effort of each other. I know you are anxious. It is a fearful time. Never be overconfident, please listen carefully to the information that your regional authorities and local companies provide, and take
action to ensure your health and safety and the safety of your families and neighbors. This is my sincerest request for each of you, DENSO’ s global team.
