Placing ecology at the center of management, the Kao Group announced its Environmental Statement in June 2009, proactively undertaking its business activities based on ecological perspectives. As the theme of the Statement, the Group is upholding "eco together" activities and proposing more ecological approaches working together with various stakeholders, including consumers, throughout product cycles, from raw material procurement and production, to distribution, sales, use, and disposal.

Kao's exhibit employed panel and video displays, plus actual products, to introduce the Kao Group as well as Kao China's domestic environmental activities embodying the "eco together" concept.
