The factbook contains detailed information on Kobe Steel, covering such areas as corporate data, financial results, business segments, and management policies.
The company also has placed its "Sustainability Report 2009" on its website. This publication presents Kobe Steel Group's achievements in environmental protection and community activities.

It also reports on CSR, with detailed information on strengthening compliance systems and dealings with customers and business partners, and incorporates feedback from stakeholders.
