Editorial Policy

In 2000, the Sanyo Chemical Group published its first Environmental Report. In 2008, the Environmental Report was upgraded to the CSR Report by adding information related to social responsibility. The Group has endeavored to ensure communication with stakeholders and fulfill accountability.
In FY2022, the Group abolished the CSR Report and newly published the Integrated Report. It also posted CSR DATA BOOK 2022 (a PDF version), which offered comprehensive information about ESG data, on the web as a supplementary tool.
In FY2023, the sustainability website was significantly reviewed and renewed to provide in-depth sustainability information. It was decided to archive the PDF version of the sustainability website as of the end of September as the Sustainability Report for the fiscal year.
We hope that the Sustainability Report, together with the Integrated Report, will aid understanding of our commitment to sustainability management.

Reporting period

The period covered is mainly FY2022 (from April 2022 to March 2023) but is extended to June 2023 for those that made significant progress in terms of management, such as organizational and policy changes. The numerical data regarding ESG covers the period from April 2022 to March 2023.
