Signing of the United Nations Global Compact

The Denka Group signed the United Nations Global Compact (hereinafter, UNGC) on June 8, 2023, and was registered as a participating company.
UNGC is the world’s largest sustainability initiative aimed at building a sound global society through collaboration between the United Nations and companies/organizations. Companies and organizations that sign the UNGC are expected to support the 10 Principles concerning "human rights," "labor," "environment," and "anti-corruption" proposed by the UNGC and make efforts to realize these principles through their business activities.
In response to issues surrounding sustainability, we established The Denka Group ESG Basic Policy as our basic policy, and are promoting three growth strategies: business value creation, human resource value creation, and management value creation in our management plan, Mission 2030. Through these efforts, we are pursuing sustainability and strengthening our management foundation. By signing the UNGC, we aim to clarify our corporate stance toward realizing a sustainable society and practice the 10 Principles proposed by the UNGC in our business activities.
