Sustainability Site Editing Policy and Contents of the Report

Editorial Policy

GRI 2-14

The Sustainability Website will convey the Kureha Group's approach to sustainability issues and its initiatives with the aim of deepening the understanding of all stakeholders.
The information presented is based on the material issues decided on by the Board of Directors.
We put all types of numerical ESG data in the "ESG Data Collection" and work for comprehensive information disclosure.
The website as it is as of August 21, 2024, will be compiled in PDF format and archived as the "Kureha Sustainability Report" at the end of August.
The information in this report has been verified by the Chairman of the Sustainability Coordination Committee (Executive Vice President).
The Kureha Group announced its implementation of Responsible Care (RC) in 1995, and began publishing a Responsible Care Report to report on its RC activities. Starting in 2010, we combined the three categories of a Company's foundation, its social report, and its RC and environmental reporting into CSR activities, and started publishing these activities in our CSR reports. Since fiscal 2021, we have shifted from the traditional booklet-centric format to a CSR Site, and have been disclosing and disseminating information on the Group's various CSR activities. The name of the site was changed to Sustainability in FY2023. Past information is available in the archive.
