| Fundamental Thinking about CSR |
|
|
|
Since the company was established, Kyocera has followed its Management Rationale, "To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint effort, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind." By using "What is the right thing to do as a human being?" as the decision-making criterion, management has been based on the Kyocera Philosophy. "Fairness, impartiality, justice, effort, courage, philanthropy, modesty and good faith" are among the basic human attitudes we encourage. Applying these as our code of conduct in a spirit of caring for others, Kyocera has continually endeavored to contribute to our global society and human development.
In other words, for the Kyocera Group, CSR is certainly not a new concept. It is none other than an application of the basis of our management - the Kyocera Philosophy. Application of the Kyocera Philosophy builds mutual trust with people who have interests in the company. Ultimately, it contributes to sustainable development of the Kyocera Group and the healthy development of society. |

| The Scope of CSR Activities |
|
|
|
The Kyocera Group is strengthening its management foundation in the area of corporate governance. The Group is aiming for well-balanced CSR activities from three perspectives:
business, social and environmental.
 |
 Business Activities that Promote High Profitability |
|
Corporations have an obligation to provide better products and services through their activities, and thereby contribute to raising the quality of life for people. They also have an obligation to give back to society some of the profits thus obtained, through taxes and other means. Increasing profits raises the stability of a corporation, and therefore raises the value that can be returned to society. This is one reason why corporations should always strive to be highly profitable.
|
 Activities that Contribute to Society |
|
The Kyocera Group believes creating products and services that are useful for people in diverse fields contributes to the advancement and development of humankind and society. We believe corporations are also members of this society. The Kyocera Group therefore takes an active interest in issues affecting communities and society, and endeavors to find solutions. Additionally, through arts and cultural activities, we are actively contributing to the economic and cultural development of society.
|
 Environmental Protection Activities |
|
Environmental problems are among the crucial issues threatening the continued existence of humankind. In acknowledgement of this situation, environmental protection activities by the Kyocera Group include the active development of environmentally friendly goods. Emissions and waste are processed so that they are returned as close as possible to their natural state.
|
 Highly Transparent Corporate Activity |
|
| The Kyocera Group has always engaged in highly transparent business activity based on universal ethics. Furthermore, through the prompt disclosure of information, we have tried to keep society as a whole informed of the state of the Kyocera Group, and thereby enhance trust. |
