Dialogue with Local Communities


The Kyocera Group (in Japan) has been holding regular reporting meetings on CSR initiatives since FY 2005 to further increase two-way communication with local communities, one of our important stakeholders. We report on the economic, social, and environmental activities of the Kyocera Group and each site, and exchange opinions on CSR initiatives in areas such as human rights, labor, health and safety, the environment, fair trade, and ethics at the meeting.
