Basic Approach to Corporate Citizenship Activities
To realize its corporate philosophy "Study the properties of water, master them,
and we will create an environment in which nature and humanity are in harmony,"
the Kurita Group defines activities that contribute to water preservation and
environmental protection and the realization of affluent lifestyles without
the aim of gaining direct revenue as corporate citizenship activities, and we aim to earn
trust of society and acquire new knowledge by actively and continuously focusing
on such activities.
The Kurita Group has set five priority areas for its
corporate citizenship activities: "Promotion of science and technology,"
"Improvement of issues related to water resources and public health," "Fostering
the next generation," "Recovery and reconstruction of disaster-stricken areas,"
"Revitalization of local communities," and promote corporate citizenship
activities in accordance with the system, roles, and approach to corporate
citizenship activities expenditures shown in the Group Guideline on Corporate
Citizenship Activities.
