Sustainability Management

Promotional Structure

We have established the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the Representative Director and President, as a system for promoting sustainability management. The Sustainability Committee deliberates on policies for materiality (material issues) and the progress status of measures, while establishing the Environmental Management Committee and the D&I/Human Rights Committee as subordinate organizations to ensure flexible and efficient management.
