The DOWA Group’s Corporate Mission, Vision, Values, and Code of Conduct

The Group’s five businesses share common traits: they provide support for society and reduce the environmental impact created by economic activities.I believe that the reason for the Group’s existence is to promote the evolution of these traits so that it can continue its contributions to society. We made these revisions with reference to several guidelines, including the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Charter of Corporate Behavior of Keidanren (Japan Business Federation). These revisions also reflect stakeholder expectations and take into consideration the corporate culture DOWA has cultivated over its long history.
