In line with this, he said at EA991, individuals strive to cooperatively work well with one another, a key factor that has yielded the company measurable success. “In every one of these years which have passed, we have seen everything, great achievements, huge disappointments, highs and lows.
In any case, one thing which we never did was to surrender,” Chiseki stated. He expressed his uttermost gratitude towards stakeholders, revealing his delight for the opportunity to work with talented, committed and passionate individuals every day. “Your commitment to putting our customers first and upholding our corporate values has been the pinnacle of Emergency Assist 991’s growth and success.
