Minoru Mkaihara, Chairman, Mitsubishi Corporation (headquartered in Japan):

"Corporations are widely seen to have increased power, but at the same time, the public's knowledge of corporations has been greatly increased by the Internet and NGOs.  So, we need to ask: how can corporations enter into dialogue with the public, strengthen corporate governance, increase transparency of their accounts, deepen discussion with NGOs and develop meaningful corporate codes?"
