Signatory to the UN Global Compact

The Denka Group signed a petition expressing its endorsement of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and was registered as a participating company on June 8, 2023. UNGC is the world’s largest sustainability initiative that aims to build a sound global society through the collaboration among the United Nations and companies and organizations. Companies and organizations that sign the UNGC are required to support the 10 principles of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption advocated by the UNGC, and strive to realize them through their business activities.
Denka has set forth the Denka Group ESG Basic Policy to address issues related to sustainability. In addition, the Company has promoted three growth strategies in its “Mission 2030” management plan: business value creation, human resources value creation, and management value creation. The Company is working to pursue sustainability in its business activities and strengthen its management foundation. By signing the UNGC, we will clarify our corporate stance toward the realization of a sustainable society and put the 10 principles advocated by the UNGC into practice in our business activities.
