Setting indices/targets
In DOWA Group's current medium-term plan (2018-2020), "what we hope to be in 2020" was set as the medium-term goal in the four priority areas of corporate governance, safety, environment, and society in the CSR policy. Among them, in the priority field of "environment", the policy of "providing products and services that contribute to the construction of a sound-cycle society" was set up, and the amount of recycled raw materials collected was set as an index.
Due to the COVID-19 that occurred in early 2020, the current medium-term plan has been extended by one year, and as of 2021, the next medium-term plan (2022 to 2024) is being formulated. Now we are considering more aggressive efforts and resetting of goals for further promotion of the circular economy and building a sustainable society.
