Environmental Activities

Regarding the important measures to be taken to foster the Kurita Group's environmental improvement activities, Katsuhiko Kokubu, a professor at Kobe University's Graduate School of Business Administration and an expert in environmentally sustainable management, talked with President Hiroshi Saito of Kurita Water Industries Ltd.

We have established the Kurita Group's Environmental Improvement Promotion Committee chaired by the Kurita director responsible for environmental improvement activities, thereby fostering the activities. Also as part of the activities, we are promoting the acquisition of ISO 14011 certification and compliance with environmental laws and regulations across the Group.

By taking the three-pronged approach for the environment, the Kurita Group achieved the following results in fiscal 2010 and set the following targets for fiscal 2011

The Kurita Group is engaged in a variety of social contribution activities based on its corporate philosophy. For example, we support R&D in the field of water and the environment and conduct cleanup activities around our sites nationwide to improve the local environment.

To ensure the disclosure of highly reliable information on a continual basis and to improve the quality of our environmental management, we ask the Institute for Environmental Management and Accounting (IEMA), as a third party, to give us their opinion concerning our environmental activities.
