■ Participates in the United Nations Global Compact

In January 2004, we signed the United Nations Global Compact (GC) as the 11th company in Japan to participate.Having aimed to “run the business in a way that repays society” since it was founded in 1923, we believe that the GC philosophy is similar to that of our own.
We support the GC’s 10 principles, incorporate them into our corporate strategy, corporate culture, and daily operations, and aim to achieve management and sustainability as a good member of society.
■ Submission of Communication on Progress (COP)
GC signatories are obligated to submit a regular activity report, known as a Communication on Progress (COP), to stakeholders once a year.The COP is an annual submission of a declaration of support by the chief executive and the practices of participating companies in relation to 10 principles covering the four areas of human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption.
Anyone can check the COP submitted by us herehere.
