Solve Issues Related to Water Resources

The world is facing various issues related to water, including water shortages due to uneven distribution, water pollution associated with industrial development, and depletion of groundwater. These rank among the most serious social issues alongside climate change.

Realize Sustainable Energy Use

The Kurita Group recognizes abnormal weather and natural disasters due to global warming and other climate change issues as a major social challenge to be addressed globally. One of the ways we are responding to climate change is taking steps to reduce our CO2  emissions by reducing our in-house per-unit energy consumption. At the same time, we are working to optimize energy use at our customers’ plants and business sites, and to promote the spread of energy-creating technologies.
