The Kurita Group’s CSV Business
The Kurita Group has defined products, technologies, or business models that
contribute significantly to water-saving, CO2 emissions reduction
and waste reduction compared to previous levels as the “CSV business,” and has
expressed these advantages as respective coefficients. The reduction of
environmental impact from customers’ operations is calculated based on these
CSV business coefficients and application results. The CSV business is also
constantly reviewed in light of the development status of more competitive
products, technologies, and business models.
Furthermore, “Development of
the CSV Business” is one of the priority measures of the MVP-22 plan, and we
have established key performance indicators (KPIs) for this, engaging in
initiatives linked with the plan.
