ESG Section

ESG stands for the three investment criteria “environmental”, “social”, and “governance”. The momentum to evaluate corporate value from the viewpoint of ESG has continued to build in recent years, and given this backdrop Kanamoto believes it too must adopt this orientation in its CSR activities. Based on its efforts to fulfill its corporate social responsibility from the standpoints of harmony between the environment and society and communications with stakeholders, Kanamoto works hard to create and improve value.

Overview of ESG at Kanamoto

The Kanamoto Group conducts its business activities with the goal of being a firm entrusted with society’s future as a corporate citizen coexisting with society. Currently these business activities are being accomplished with the support of many stakeholders, beginning with our shareholders and investors but also encompassing groups as diverse as our customers, employees and local communities, as we expand into overseas markets. We believe that building a deep relationship of trust with stakeholders, supported by proper corporate activities, is indispensable for accomplishing our mission and achieving sustainable growth. The Company has positioned ESG at the heart of its corporate management and is committed to its practice.
