The "SOMPO Sustainability Index" is composed of approximately 300 companies that excel in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives, and the index has been utilized in "SOMPO Sustainable Investment" launched by Sompo Asset Management since 2012. 

 

With "Contributing to the achievement of the SDGs" as our Purpose, every employee contributes to solving environmental and social issues through their daily work, and we strive for highly transparent corporate governance in full compliance with regulations. To further accelerate the efforts of our medium- to long-term ESG goals "Kyo-sei Life Vision 2030" which we have been driving since 2020, we announced "Kyo-sei Life Vision 2035" in 2026. Moving forward, the Unicharm Group aims to solve environmental and social issues, contribute to consumers and local communities, and simultaneously achieve sustainable business growth by steadily promoting these goals.
