Kuraray Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Masaaki Ito; hereinafter “Kuraray”) hereby announces that it has published the Kuraray Report 2018 (A4 size, 50 pages, full color).

Until 2017, Kuraray disclosed financial and non-financial information via separately issued annual and CSR reports. However, from 2018 the Company will publish integrated reports, thereby securing a more robust communication tool better suited to keeping stakeholders informed of the Kuraray Group’s various new value creation initiatives executed over the medium to long term.

CSR Section of Kuraray’s Corporate Website

The new layout features a “Top Statement,” a “CSR Management” section, a “Safety Report,” and an “Environmental Report” as well as coverage of other key topics with eye-catching icons accompanying the headlines to attract reader attention.
