Our Business

As for the promotion and implementation of CSR activities, Hymo has established the CSR Committee with top level management members, the CSR Promotion Office comprising mainly of mid-level employees from each division, along with those divisional working units in the research center, each plant, and the marketing which carry out CSR related tasks within each department.
Among them, the CSR Promotion Office plays a central role, engaging in a broad range of activities such as monitoring, investigating and interpretations of laws and regulations, and operation/improvement of environmental/quality management systems.

We believe that raising awareness of each and every employee is of primary importance to the implementation of CSR which focuses on compliance observation. For this reason, we regularly have all employees attend CSR training sessions to make it more interactive an engaging, which are instructed by the CSR Promotion Office and the general managers of each department. The training covers a broad range of content, and particular emphasis is placed on understanding and implementing “Hymo’s Major CSR Principles”, with an explanation handbook distributed to all participants in the sessions from time to time.
