About the Title"KohDoh Report"
When conducting business, we always keep in mind thatsociety continues to develop each and every day. To keep
up with the latest trends, we are determined to work
thoughtfully and exercise ingenuity. This resolution isrepresented by our coined word "KohDoh," which means"thoughtful action" by combining the Japanese charactersfor "thinking" and "working."

Focus on Information Pertaining to Society
and the Environment
To communicate in greater detail the social and environmental information of theMandom Group within the limited number of pages of the KohDoh Report, and toprevent duplication of information with other publications issued by Mandom, andexplore methods of providing information suited to the purposes of all our readers,
we have decided, starting with this report, to publish all information relating toorganizational governance and corporate governance in the Mandom Report.
For more detailed data on personnel and labor, the environment, and other topics,
we have provided links for accessing CSR information on our website, but we havepresented relevant information by using as much space as possible in the KohDohReport.
The Mandom Report can be downloaded from Mandom's ofﬁcial website, asindicated below, so please use this report as an additional reference.

■Editorial Policy of the KohDoh Report 2018
The KohDoh Report is a report that presents the thoughtful actions we have been taking to help bring about the sustainable development ofsociety and to meet the hopes and expectations of a diverse range of stakeholders.
Since issuing the Mandom Environmental Report in 2003, we have made continual improvements, and worked hard to disclose information andbolster our communication relating to CSR and sustainability.
Last year was a milestone marking the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Mandom Group, and we announced a new corporate philosophy
and vision with an eye toward our coming 100th anniversary (2027). (P.05, P.08‒09)
We have selected the Mandom Group's CSR Material Issues (Ver. 2, 14 themes) based on our CSR approach and guidelines, and in light of thefollowing perspectives.

Perspectives for
Selecting
CSR MaterialIssues

Two Criteria for
Promoting
CSR Activities●Consistency with and stronger promotion of the Mandom Group's vision, corporate philosophy, strategies/policies, and code of conduct, etc.
●Consistency with international standards of conduct, principles, and initiatives that should be supported/
respected by global corporations●The high level of expectations and requirements of the diverse, wide range of stakeholders we must engage with
●Responsibility for impact on the economy, society, and environment of our entire value chain●Consistency with the efforts of international society as a whole to achieve sustainable social development●Eliminating or reducing negative impacts on building a foundation for comfortable living(Fundamental CSR)
●Maximizing positive impacts for achieving sustainable social development (Strategic CSR/CSV)

We provided our ﬁrst progress report on CSR Material Issues in the previous KohDoh Report 2017. There we described our long-term goals,
future policies, and KohDoh plans pertaining to a number of themes.
As well as quickly perceiving the latest trends in international society, and the expectations and requirements of our diverse range ofstakeholders, since 2006 we have been continuously engaged in dialogue (discussion and exchange of views) in cooperation with experts invarious ﬁelds, to promote and strengthen our CSR KohDoh by reviewing and improving CSR Material Issues, and adding new themes and goals.
In the previous KohDoh Report 2017, we reported on seminars and dialogues for realizing the Paris Agreement and a carbon-free society, as well
as for universal manners to correctly interact with a diverse range of people such as the disabled, elderly, and LGBT.

In light of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, approved by the United Nations Human Rights Council in2011, trends such as enforcement of the UK Modern Slavery Act, and issuance of the ISO 20400 international standard for sustainableprocurement, attention has been drawn to Business and Human Rights, in particular human rights problems in the supply chains of companies.
