Sustainability Management

The Group is building a sustainability promotion structure centered on the Group Sustainability Committee to make meaningful contributions to the realization of a sustainable society.
In April 2023, the new position of Chief Sustainability Officer (CSuO) was created to promote the Group sustainability strategy and chair the Group Sustainability Committee.
In FY2024, the Sustainability Unit was established to further accelerate Group-based sustainability initiatives that integrate environmental, social, and governance issues based on international standards.

Group Sustainability Committee

The Group Sustainability Committee discusses the Group's policies and strategies, effective publication of information including external commitments, and monitoring of the implementation of initiatives at each Group company, from a medium- to long-term perspective throughout the Group. These discussions all consider the opinions of external experts. The Committee then reports its discussions to the Executive Management Board and the Board of Directors.
