SustainabilityPromotion of CSV Business

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.
