For CO2 reductions, we have set an environmental target for the amount of CO2 emissions at the production stage of 98.5% of fiscal 2013 levels by fiscal 2016.<\/p>\n KOS\u00c9 also makes continual efforts to reduce industrial waste, mainly in its production divisions. In fiscal 2014, more than 99.9% of waste was recycled as reprocessed plastics, compost, or fuel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t The SAVE the BLUE\u00ae project, launched in 2009 as an effort to preserve the coral reefs around Okinawa, has been expanded to other Asian countries. In ASEAN countries, the program supports environmental conservation efforts, centered on preservation of the local coral reefs.<\/p>\n Since its foundation in 1946, the KOS\u00c9 Group has always placed the highest priority on providing cosmetics and services that satisfy customers by offering the best possible quality.<\/p>\n In providing such high-quality products and services, KOS\u00c9, with its focus on creating beauty, is committed to making safety and security its top priority so as to meet the beauty and health needs of its customers and help each one live a more fulfilling life.<\/p>\n Read More<\/a><\/p>\n The KOS\u00c9 Group’s CSR Committee is responsible for decision-making related to CSR activities in general while the CSR Promotion Committee and its affiliated Environmental Working Group take a leadership role in promoting environmental activities.
