The Kao group announced the Environmental Statement in 2009, which stipulates we promote “eco together” working with consumers, business partners and communities. In 2019, Kao also launched a new global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy, the Kirei Lifestyle Plan. We aim to contribute to society for the future through its implementation.
This contest has been held annually since 2010 so that the children around the world seriously think about the environment and future of the planet and express them as paintings, also the Kao Group conveys their works and thoughts to as many people as possible, thereby inspiring people to take actions toward sustainable lifestyles.
Kao Painting Contest "Our Wishes"
