Framework for Promoting Sustainability Management

In promoting sustainability management, priority issues are addressed through a management cycle that centers on the Sustainability Management Committee, an auxiliary body to the Executive Council. While proactively disclosing information and utilizing promotion tools, such as ESG external assessments and the SDGs, we have put into place a system that allows the Board of Directors to monitor sustainability management.

In fiscal 2024, the CO2 Reduction Promotion Subcommittee was separated from the Sustainability Management Committee and renamed the GX Strategy Committee to further advance GX strategy. We have strengthened the Board of Director's monitoring function by forming Sustainability Management Meetings, comprised of all directors, as a forum to share understanding and exchange opinions with executives, including those from business divisions, boardly and regularly on our Group's major sustainability activities.
