Firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks for your loyal patronage.

　In recent years, the landscape of the oil industry has dramatically changed. The wild fluctuations in oil prices have reduced the demand for oil products in Japan. Moreover, it has coincided with the recent global economic downturn.
　Meanwhile, global warming and countermeasures for this problem have become a priority across the world, even in developing countries. In short, the oil industry cannot stand still; it is now time to take the next step forward.

　In September 2008, we launched a new brand—SOLATO—to commemorate our 100th anniversary. The Taiyo Oil Group created the slogan "Energy for this planet and its people" in ardent hopes of caring about and energizing people so that future generations may learn to live in harmony with planet Earth.

　By utilizing the vast experience and assets gathered over the last century, we are able to take a new, bold step forward. We aim to take a giant leap into the next century in order to energize people and become a cherished business group. The Taiyo Oil Group will do its utmost to meet your expectations.

　We highly appreciate your ongoing support and encouragement that will motivate us for years to come.
