• SITEMAP

The Cosmo Group has been faced with various social issues underpinning environmental problems, including mass consumption, poverty, and human rights issues, over the course of carrying out environmental preservation activities that extend beyond the scope of our business. We have realized the necessity of social cooperation and collaboration to address these complex issues.
To strengthen our resolve, we have signed the Global Compact proposed by the United Nations in February 2006 as a means of enabling our executives and employees to become keenly aware of the promotion of CSR management. In doing so, we will continue to pursue sustainable growth as well as strive for coexistence with society.
