Editorial Policy
The Nippon Shokubai Group Sustainability Website describes our initiatives to realize a sustainable society under the Nippon Shokubai Group Mission “TechnoAmenity: Providing prosperity and comfort to people and society, with our unique technology.” For the purpose of gaining the understanding of our stakeholders, we have posted details of our group’s general approach to sustainability, as well as initiatives related to the environment, society, and governance.
We will periodically archive the sustainability website and record it as a sustainability report for the relevant fiscal year.
In addition, the integrated report “TechnoAmenity Report” reports on the Group’s vision, strategies, and initiatives for medium- to long-term value creation. We hope that you will also read the RC Report, which introduces the details of Responsible Care initiatives, and the TCFD Report, which contains information based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Data related to the environment, society, and corporate governance are posted in the ESG Data.
