Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. has announced that it has formulated a basic policy on the social contribution activities of its entire group, including its partner companies both within Japan and overseas.

In line with our ESG Statement* established in August 2020, we have formulated the new basic policy as follows:

Basic policy:

At Nippon Paint Holdings Group we aim to conduct our business activities to support and enable sustainable development everywhere we operate. Providing color, comfort, and safety to people everywhere has been our mission since the company was founded. For “Growth with community,”* one of our materiality themes toward sustainable development, we will conduct activities focusing on three pillars we call “the 3Es.”

Focus areas (3Es)

Education of children and students as our future customers or employees

Empowerment of the socially disadvantaged through activity support and vocational training, as well as identifying and encouraging talented individuals

Engagement of local communities, stakeholders, and NGOs through collaboration with them and activities such as providing support for those affected by disasters

From now on, we will further promote our social contribution activities by strengthening our activity promotion system both within Japan and overseas. We will also facilitate closer communication and collaboration with our stakeholders, and promote transparent disclosure.
