Sustainability

The Group aims to achieve a sustainable society and increase its corporate value.

The DKK Group has positioned Group-wide sustainability issues as one of its most important management challenges and implements initiatives to address these issues in its medium-term management plan, ‘DK-One Next.’ Based on its management philosophy, it aims to achieve a sustainable society and increase its corporate value through the five practices of: using innovation to create products that contribute to solving social problems; reducing energy consumption through environmentally friendly product design and efficient use of resources; promoting respect for human rights; establishing a working environment and working systems that enable a diverse workforce to flourish; and further strengthening corporate governance in order to remain a company trusted by society. The Sustainability Division draws up sustainability initiatives and monitors progress, while the Risk Management Committee reexamines and evaluates risk items, with both reporting directly to the Board of Directors. The Group recognizes that responding to climate change is an important corporate social issue, and although there are risks for the business, the emergence of new needs in society is also an opportunity to create new value for the Group. It also believes developing personnel who will take on challenges to expand the business is crucial to become a 100 Year Company.
