RESPONSIBLE CARE

In 1995 Kureha stated its commitment to implement Responsible Care. Since then, the company has been actively working on a number of environment and health and safety issues, including reducing the company's burden on the environment, and ensuring the safety of products and operations. Furthermore, Kureha believes that these responsibilities extend to all group companies, and as a result has established the "All Kureha Responsible Care Committee."

Through this body, the company intends to enhance its efforts in various fields, including environmental protection, security and disaster response, labor safety and hygiene, quality assurance, natural resource conservation and community relations.
