CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Cow Brand Soap’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

In order to be a good corporate citizen, Cow Brand Soap devotes ceaseless effort to live together harmoniously and honestly with the society and employees.

Cow Brand Soap, that makes quality the first priority as a manufacturer specialized in skin-cleansing products, provides products for beauty, cleanliness and health, and ensures fairness and transparency in the corporate activities.

The key elements of CSR are “environment conservation”, “customer satisfaction”, “social contribution and compliance” and “employee satisfaction”.

Environment Conservation

Our attitude toward the environment
“MINORI”is a word

There is a camphor tree positioned roughly in the center of our factory that was planted at the factory completion in 1963 and named “Tree of MINORI”. In Japanese, “MINORI” is a word having multiple meanings; fruitful, rewarding and productive. The tree was planted in the hope of growing rich at the environment-friendly factory and is now a symbol of our environmental consciousness.

We have implemented environmental conservation activities, as the “Tree of MINORI” has grown, from various angles such as efficient use of resources, energy savings and reduction of industrial waste, not to mention greening of our factory.
