ManagementThe Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star was a major milestone in the life of Chairman Yasuhiro Komatsu. However,the steps he took were by no means easy. He faced many difficulties in the projects that led to his honor, namely in therecycling of used containers and expansion of employing disabled persons. With patience as his management philosophy, heenjoyed this great triumph after persistent practice of that philosophy. The following is his message upon receiving the honor.Compared with those previously awarded the same honor,I feel rather perplexed by the fact that a mere manager of asmall company like ours has been awarded this great honor. Ihave heard that this is a very rare case.We became the industry’s first to engage in full-scale foodcontainer recycling and expand this activity to the wholecountry. That is something that should have been highlyregarded. As for employment of the disabled, we haveaccepted a large number of employees with severe intellectualdisabilities while successfully generating profits. That mayalso have attracted attention.At the time of the awarding ceremony, Her Majesty theEmpress gave some gentle words to my wife, who was in awheelchair. That was a great honor to us. I enjoyed great helpfrom my wife and many other people for many decades aftersetting up FP Corporation.I am truly indebted for their long support for the company and Iwould like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to them all.I see this special event as a milestone. I do not think that Ihave finished doing everything as a business manager. FPCorporation still has potential for further growth. I lookforward to your continued patronage and support, and FPCorporation will continue to grow into a company lovedby customers, which fulfillsits responsibilities as amember of society.Yasuhiro Komatsu’s Brief Biography and Major AwardsBriefBiographyJuly 17, 1937March 1960July 1962May 1984Born in Ibara-shi, OkayamaGraduated from the Facility of Economics, NihonUniversityEstablished Fukuyama Pearl Paper ManufacturingCorporation (currently, FP Corporation) and becomespresident and representative directorAppointed as president of the Polystyrene PaperThermoforming Industry Association (currently, JapanPlastic Food Container Association)BriefBiography December 2006November 2007April 2008May 2008Appointed as president of the Komatsu ScholarshipAssociation (currently representative director of theKomatsu Scholarship Association)Appointed as president of the Komatsu ScholarshipFoundation (currently representative director of theKomatsu Scholarship Foundation)Appointed as chairman of Japan PET TrayAssociationAppointed as a director and auditor of the JapanPlastics Industry FederationMarch 1993Appointed as a director of the Hiroshima Eco ForumJuly 2008Appointed as a trustee of the Japan ChemicalInnovation and Inspection InstituteMarch 1995Appointed as a Category 3 member at the FukuyamaChamber of Commerce and IndustryJune 2009Appointed as chairman, representative director andchief executive officer (CEO) of FP CorporationMay 1996April 1998June 1998May 2006Reappointed as president of the Polystyrene PaperThermoforming Industry Association (currently, JapanPlastic Food Container Association)Appointed as a director of the Plastic PackagingRecycling CouncilAppointed as chairman of the Meeting on FoodContainer Thermoforming (currently, Japan PlasticFood Container Association)Appointed as a director of the Kansai Branch of theJapan Packing InstituteMajorAwardsMay 2010June 2012May 2013May 1997February 1999February 2011Appointed as a councilor of Keidanren (JapanBusiness Federation)Appointed as a member of the Policy Board ofKeidanren (Japan Business Federation)Appointed as a director of the Japan Floor HockeyFederationMedal with Blue Ribbon19th Mainichi Newspaper Keizaijin AwardNinth Shibusawa Eiichi AwardManagement Efforts 14
