In the process of realizing our corporate philosophy and long-term vision, the Group places importance on ESG principles; by actively addressing key issues and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs, we aim to realize a sustainable society and conduct business activities that earn trust.
We view the enhancement of corporate value as inseparable from the creation of social value and are committed to promoting sustainability in alignment with our Group-wide policies. As social challenges—such as climate change, shifting demographics, constraints on healthcare finances, and labor shortages—intensify, ensuring long-term sustainability is essential for the company’s continued growth; we must look beyond the mere pursuit of short-term profits. To this end, we have established an implementation framework centered on the Board of Directors and are pursuing an integrated approach that encompasses reducing environmental impact, fulfilling social responsibilities, and strengthening sound governance.
Six Priority Issues (Materiality) for Promoting ESG Management
We have established a Sustainability Committee to manage and drive its sustainability initiatives. This committee deliberates on fundamental strategies and the implementation status of activities regarding sustainability issues—such as climate change and human capital—and submits proposals and reports to the Board of Directors as appropriate; the Board receives these reports and provides oversight and direction as necessary.
