Sustainability Promotion System
In April 2022, we renamed the “CSR Committee”, and established the “Sustainability Committee” to promote management based on the viewpoint of sustainability.
The Sustainability Committee sets company-wide policies and goals for sustainability, promotes initiatives to achieve them, and monitors various measures.
Important issues (materiality)
In light of recent environmental and social issues, as well as social needs, we have identified important issues (materiality) that are closely related to our Group's business, and that are also important to society and stakeholders in order to realize our basic sustainability policy.
