CSR of DOWA(DOWA Corporate Social Responsibility)

2007 Results - Environmental and Social Goals and their Present Status

The DOWA group positions environmental conservation and social activities as the important issue in conducting our business and is engaged in various CSR activities. Among others, we focus on two goals of reduction of CO2 emission and afforestation in our long term vision of fighting global warming.

In 2007, in addition to 1% reduction of specific CO2 emission compared to the year before, we achieved initial goals of afforestation in Akita and Okayama Prefectures and held a tree planting ceremony together with local people. However, we failed to achieve our goal of compliance with laws and regulation, as we had one accident pertaining discharged water in Akita Prefecture. We will continue to contribute to and achieve this goal in 2008.

Towards Low Carbon Society - The DOWA group’s Long Term Vision of Fighting Against Global Warming

We aim to be carbon neutral, which refers to zero CO2 emission in connection with business activities (including reduction brought about by energy saving efforts) brought about by offsetting it with the equivalent reduction amount of CO2 achieved through recycling, chlorofluorocarbon destruction and CDM business activities aimed at emergence of resource-recycling society, contributing to reduction of global CO2 emission.
