Goals as a Group

Sustainability promotion system and cycle

In April 2021, we established the Sustainablity Committee — chaired by the President — under the jurisdiction of the Executive Committee, with the goal of strengthening and promoting our sustainability management. This committee deliberates and decides upon matters related to Group sustainability strategy and, following internal regulations, presents them to the Executive Committee for report to the Board of Directors. These decisions are then executed through each function in cooperation with other special committees, and progress is managed regularly. We have also formed cross-organizational task forces to investigate and promote specific targets and activity plans related to sustainability initiatives.

Stakeholder Engagement

We consider the impact on the evaluation and decision-making of all stakeholders and examine the priority issues.
The significance of the Group in society is that we not only solve the issues requested by our stakeholders, but we also create surprise and new discoveries for society and contribute to enriching society. Through our opportunities for engagement with stakeholders, we strive to be accountable by communicating information accurately and clearly.
And we also check if we are providing business partners and customers with not only products and services, but also the excitement that exceeds their expectations through our various work.
