Message from the CEO
“Providing diverse options from around the world to encourage unlimited potentialities of individulas.”
By empowering individuals, we aim to expand individual choices and create a society where diverse values are recognized.
By doing so, we will encourage people to live more fulfilling lives by creating ways of life and choices that are not limited to the values of their own country.
In the process of achieving this goal, we will also grow and prosper in the global marketplace and contribute to solving social issues we face, such as climate change.
Sustainability Promotion Framework
・Governance
In May 2023, we established the Sustainability Subcommittee as a subcommittee of the Management Committee under the oversight of the Board of Directors to discuss matters related to sustainability*.
The subcommittee is chaired by CEO and consists of the members of the Management Committee as well as those in charge of sustainability promotion and other members appointed by CEO as necessary and is held at least four times a year.
The subcommittee discusses matters related to sustainability, specifically, identification/management of materiality, identification/evaluation/management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities, and formulation of related policies, and reports the results of discussions to the Board of Directors without undue delay.
The Sustainability Subcommittee also collaborates with the Risk Management Committee to share risk information throughout the company and educate employees on the concept of compliance, legal compliance, and other matters to permeate a high sense of ethics and compliance spirit.
*Sustainability refers to matters related to the sustainability of corporate management, including environment (climate change), social, employees, human rights, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, governance, cyber security, data security, business environment and so forth.
Sustainability Subcommittee
| Member | Chair：CEO Other members: Management Committee member, those in charge of sustainability promotion, and other members appointed by CEO as necessary |
| Number of times held | At least 4 times a year |
| Topic discussed | ・Identification/management of materiality ・Identification/evaluation/management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities ・Formulation of related policies |
・Risk Management
・Process to identify/assess/manage risk
We have a system in place for each division to report risks to the Risk Management Committee in a timely manner in accordance with the risk management policy.
In addition, risks related to sustainability are shared with the Risk Management Committee by the General Manager of the Corporate Operations Division, a member of the Sustainability Subcommittee, to identify company-wide risks.
These identified risks are evaluated by the Management Committee through the Risk Management Committee and the Sustainability Subcommittee from the perspective of urgency and impact and classified into levels in order of priority.
If a risk is identified as a significant company-wide risk based on the content of the discussion, it is not only managed by the Risk Management Committee or the Sustainability Subcommittee, but a separate committee may also be established to address the risk.
・Status of integration into company-wide risk management
We are able to view comprehensive risks as management issues by linking the risks identified by the Risk Management Committee with the Sustainability Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Management Committee.
