About the CSR/Society and the Environment website

In choosing the material for this Sustainability Report, we focused in particular on identifying what readers would be most interested in, and what the most critical matters for reporting would be. These matters were selected as indicated in the diagram on the right. In this report, we adhered to the "triple bottom line" format of economic, social and environmental reporting used in previous reports. At the same time, this year's report was prepared with an emphasis on the themes of People, the Environment and CSR Activities in order to increase understanding and interest in the USHIO Group's activities among as many stakeholders as possible.This report was written in our own format based on: Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, Generation 3 (GRI G3); Environmental Report Guidelines (2007 edition) from the Japanese Ministry of the Environment
