KOBELCO Group has been implementing various initiatives in the areas of Environment, Social, and Governance to achieve sustainability management. Going forward, we will further accelerate these initiatives. In the electric power business, we are boldly working on improving energy use efficiency for the entire region using biomass technology and the adoption of outside innovative technologies using ammonia and other substances. To fulfill its responsibilities to society as a company and to further increase its corporate value, the KOBELCO Group is committed to providing solutions to the needs of society by making the best use of its diverse employees and technologies. Governance is a precondition for the continuing existence of a company. Companies are required to not only observe laws, ordinances, and corporate ethics, but also fulfill new types of responsibilities to society which are emerging with changes in society. As the global trend is shifting to carbon neutrality (CN) and driving social transformation, there is a growing need to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide in the steel industry, which emits a large amount of CO2.
