Sustainability Promotion System

To promote sustainability management, we have established the Sustainability Promotion Committee, headed by the President, and have organized three subcommittees under the Sustainability Promotion Committee for each ESG category. The Committee and the three subcommittees discuss and examine targets and progress about sustainability issues, and promote initiatives to realize a sustainable society.
In addition, we inform Group companies of our policy at the "Sustainability Promotion Subcommittee" in the Kumiai Chemical Group Top Management Strategy Meeting.
