Engaging with Local Communities

Information Disclosure

The DIC Group strives to increase the transparency of its activities through the active disclosure of information and at the same time promotes dialogue with stakeholders. DIC discloses information on the global Group’s safety and environmental activities in its DIC Report integrated report. The English-language version of the report is published exclusively as a PDF that can be downloaded from the DIC global website.

Dialogue with Local Communities

In Japan, the DIC Group holds regular presentations on safety and environmental initiatives for the communities around its production facilities. In addition, biennial Responsible Care community meetings are held at plants located in industrial complexes (Chiba, Kashima, Sakai and Yokkaichi), while annual environmental presentations are held at the Saitama Plant, which is located near residential areas.

The DIC Group also seeks to deepen communication, including inviting junior and senior high school students for hands-on lab lessons, participating in community disaster drills, providing assistance for local festivals and other events, and promoting other initiatives tailored to local communities. Facilities in Japan also share information with local residents by preparing site reports that detail their safety- and environment-related efforts.

At sites in other countries and territories, the DIC Group also seeks to advance dialogue and interaction with local communities by participating in tree plantings and other activities aimed at preventing global warming and preserving biodiversity.
