Sustainability Report 2006 | Activities for the Global Compact

The Cosmo Oil Group has confronted various social problems behind environmental problems, including mass-consumption lifestyle, poverty, and human rights issues, in the course of our environmental preservation actions beyond the scope of our business. We have realized the necessity of social cooperation and collaboration to address ourselves to these problems that are intertwined complicatedly with each other.
To strengthen our will, we signed the Global Compact proposed by the United Nations in February 2006 so as to let our executives and employees become keenly aware of the promotion of CSR management.
We are aiming at our growth, getting along with society.
