Sustainability Promotion System
The Group has established the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the Representative Director, Chairman and CEO, and this deliberates on the formulation, promotion, evaluation, and improvement of policies and action plans in the field of sustainability, including climate change and human capital. As well as submitting an annual report to the Board of Directors, this also aims to conduct discussions and provide reports as necessary in a timely manner.
Furthermore, starting from April 2024, we have appointed sustainability promotion members at each key subsidiary of our Group through nominations by the presidents of those subsidiaries in order to implement the policies and action plans formulated by the committee. We have also established and are operating the Sustainability Promotion Liaison Meeting, aimed at facilitating communication, coordination, and exchange of opinions between the promotion committee members.
