The world is constantly changing in pursuit of solutions to social issues such as the realization of a decarbonized society and the digitization of society. As key materials supporting the realization of innovation, non-ferrous metals with different functionalities are used in devices across a wide range of fields. However, metals are non-renewable resources and production of metals is concentrated on specific countries and regions. The recycling of metals is, therefore, essential for the realization of a sustainable world.
Since the 1990s, DOWA has been a global pioneer in metal recycling, continuously refining technologies that enhance the value of metals, while delivering cutting-edge products and services. The “Recycling-oriented Business Model” based on "Resource Recycling" and "Provision of Excellent Materials and Technologies" will continue to play an essential role in supporting the development of a sustainable world.
The Group’s five businesses share common traits: they provide support for society and reduce the environmental impact created by economic activities. We believe that the reason for the Group’s existence is to promote the evolution of these traits so that it can continue its contributions to society.
With this in mind, we have set fourth our Vision (our goal in 2030): Contribute continuously to building a sustainable future through our core businesses, the promotion of resource recycling, and the provision of excellent materials and technologies.
Our mission, vision, values and code of conduct were revised in FY2020 with reference to the UN Global Compact, the SDGs, the Charter of Corporate Behaviour of Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) and other guidelines, reflecting the requirements of each stakeholder and taking into account the our history and culture, as well as the corporate culture fostered by them. The Board of Directors approved the revision in FY2020.
The DOWA Group believes that its most important missions are to engage all of its stakeholders in a sincere and open manner through business operations emphasizing society and the environment and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable world. In light of the various social challenges surrounding our Company, we aim to seize opportunities through a recycling-oriented business model. At the same time, we are continuously strengthening our risk management, focusing on the Four Lines Model. Through these efforts, we will create long-term value and strive to realize our Vision (our goal in 2030): contribute continuously to building a sustainable future through our core businesses, the promotion of resource recycling, and the provision of excellent materials and technologies.
