Participation in International Initiatives

United Nations Global Compact

Kawasaki signed the United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”) initiative proposed by the United Nations and was registered as a participating company in January, 2020. We have also joined the Global Compact Network Japan, the compact’s local network in Japan.

The UNGC is a voluntary initiative for companies and organizations to act as good members of society and participate in creating a global framework for sustainable growth by taking responsible and creative leadership.

In conducting their business operations, UNGC signatory companies and organizations are required to support the initiative’s ten principles in the four fields of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption.

With our signing of the UNGC, we commit ourselves to promoting the ten principles in the four fields and continue our activities towards the realization of a sustainable society.

TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)

Kawasaki signed the statement of support for the TCFD recommendations in September, 2019.

TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) is a task force established by the Financial Stability Board, an international organization that includes central banks and financial regulators in major countries.

Institutional investors and financial institutions who are investing in ESG emphasize that it is critical for companies to be aware of the risks and opportunities of climate change and incorporate them into their management strategies. They propose approaches to the appropriate disclosure of information regarding the risks and opportunities of climate change, which companies voluntarily disclose.

We will communicate more clearly the Company's efforts to realize a sustainable society to our stakeholders, and work to further enhance information disclosure.
