Third-Party Comment and Editorial Postscript

 
Ecoway
Ecoway
The Kobe Steel Group has established a symbol mark with the aim to cultivate an "environmental mind" among its employees and to enable an environment image to take root.

The fresh green leaf drawn freehand expresses a natural and gentle image. By combining an arrow mark with the word ECO WAY, the mark represents the Kobe Steel Group's corporate stance to progress, step by step, on a path to become an environmentally advanced company.

Editorial Policy
The Sustainability Report was prepared by using the Global Reporting Initiative's Sustainability Reporting Guidelines 2006. The environmental report section was put together by using the Environmental Reporting Guidelines (fiscal 2003 edition and 2007 interim edition) published by the Ministry of the Environment as references. The section on disaster prevention used PR material published August 1, 2005 by the working group on company valuation and business continuity in the Cabinet Office's Central Disaster Prevention Council, as a reference. Technical terms are explained for easy understanding and the sources of related information are included so that readers can obtain more details.

Period and Scope Covered
The Sustainability Report 2007 presents the Kobe Steel Group's achievements in environmental protection and community activities in fiscal 2006 (April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007). Some data from previous years are also included. The report includes the Group's basic stance on environmental protection and social contributions. It also describes past, current and future activities.
