CSR Policy and Plan｜Dowa Holdings Co., Ltd. CSR Site

The CSR plan and the approach for the goals

　In the four priority areas of governance, safety, environment and society for our CSR policy, we have set the “Vision for 2020” as our medium-term goal. While seeing this vision as a goal that can be feasibly achieved, as priority measures for issues that should be treated preferentially, we have set up an action plan to realize this with single year initiatives and goals, and are promoting repeated action, evaluation and measures.

　For details about the results of the initiatives by area for FY2017, please see the report by area from page 19.

“Vision for 2020”

At each of the DOWA Group companies, “S+ESG” management based on the CSR policy has become established, and through minimizing management risk at the same time as improving corporate value, we are contributing to solving global social issues.
