Development of Sustainability Promotion Regulations, Committee and Office

「Under a risk management framework headed by the Representative Director and President as the overall responsible officer, our group identifies and assesses risks that could affect business activities, including sustainability-related risks, and regularly reports their management status to the Board of Directors. In particular, measures for material risks are taken with the approval of the Board of Directors.」

「We have identified six material issues and are addressing them: creating products that contribute to the environment and society, activities aimed at achieving carbon neutrality, building a sustainable supply chain, creating a safe, comfortable and healthy workplace where employees can work with vitality, developing and securing next-generation group talent, and strengthening risk management.」

「To strengthen the sustainability promotion framework across the group, including overseas subsidiaries, we established the Sustainability Promotion Regulations effective 1 April 2023 and, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, established a framework within the business execution organization headed by the Representative Director and President as the chief executive. Specifically, we established the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the executive officer responsible for CSR, and are proceeding with the identification and assessment of sustainability-related risks and opportunities, the identification of material issues, and the formulation of metrics and targets. In addition, we newly established the Sustainability Promotion Department to promote the rollout of sustainability-related issues across the group, coordination and collaboration, and internal adoption based on the results of deliberations by the Board of Directors and the Sustainability Committee.」
