CSR Policy and Plan｜DOWA HOLDINGS CO., LTD. Site of CSR

●Concept of the CSR plan and the goals

　At the DOWA Group, in the four priority areas of governance, safety, environment and society for our CSR policy, we have set the" Vision for 2020" as our medium-term goal. While seeing this vision as a goal that can be feasibly achieved, as priority measures for issues that should be treated preferentially, we have set up an action plan to realize this with single year initiatives and goals, and are promoting repeated action, evaluation and measures.
　For details about the results of the initiatives by area for FY2018, please see the report by area from the next page.

"Vision for 2020"

　At each of the DOWA Group companies, "S+ESG" management based on the CSR policy has become established, and through minimizing management risk at the same time as improving corporate value, we are contributing to solving global social issues
