Our Group places strong emphasis on ESG principles in the process of achieving our corporate philosophy and long-term vision. By proactively addressing material issues, we contribute to the realization of the SDGs and aim to build a sustainable society while engaging in corporate activities that earn the trust of stakeholders.
We view the enhancement of corporate value as inseparable from the creation of social value, and we are promoting sustainability in alignment with the Group’s overall policies. Amid the growing severity of social challenges such as climate change, demographic shifts, financial constraints in healthcare, and labor shortages, it is essential for companies to secure sustainability from a long-term perspective, rather than focusing solely on short-term profits. To this end, our Group has established a governance framework centered on the Board of Directors, and is advancing initiatives in an integrated manner to reduce environmental impact, fulfill social responsibilities, and strengthen sound governance.

Six Material Issues for Promoting ESG Management

Our Group has established a Sustainability Committee as the organization responsible for overseeing and promoting sustainability-related activities. The Sustainability Committee deliberates on basic strategies and the implementation status of initiatives concerning key sustainability issues such as climate change and human capital. The Committee submits proposals and reports to the Board of Directors as appropriate, and the Board provides supervision and guidance as necessary based on those reports.
