Basic Approach to Social Responsibilities

In view of the MCHC Group's philosophy "Good Chemistry for Tomorrow – Creating better relationships among people, society, and our planet," we believe that we have a responsibility to put KAITEKI into practice, by disseminating the idea of KAITEKI value widely across society, through our corporate activities based on the three decision criteria of Sustainability, Health, and Comfort.

To achieve that, we will commit to maintaining and reinforcing basic corporate activities in areas that are essential to enhancing KAITEKI value, including corporate governance, safety, the environment, labor and human rights, aiming to contribute to the sustainable development of society.

In May 2006, we also declared our support for the United Nations Global Compact and the ten principles set out therein, covering areas such as human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.
