Stakeholder Engagement

Promoting Dialogue with Stakeholders

GRI 2-29

As corporate activities globalize, stakeholders demand more social responsibility from corporations, so building and maintaining relationships of trust by taking various opportunities for dialogue is positioned as an important factor in improving corporate value.
We at Kureha Group take all the requests and concerns of our neighbors into consideration as we contribute to the development of a sustainable society, by promoting dialogue with our important stakeholders, whether they be shareholders and investors, customers and clients, business partners, employees, the general public, local communities, government agencies, or industry groups.
