2. Our three offices, Osaka Branch, Hitachinaka Sales Office, and Tsuruga Sales Office, as well as our group companies Kinkai Yusen Hokkaido Co., Ltd. and Sanyu Co., Ltd., have set up shifts and implemented work-from-home arrangements, reducing the number of people coming into the office and continuing operations.
