In terms of management and execution, committees have been established based on management strategy and issues, and each committee promotes initiatives to resolve issues across the regions and organizations. In the area of sustainability, several related committees, including the Sustainability Committee, assume the role of promoting the planning and execution of various sustainability initiatives, and they continuously strive to strengthen measures by implementing PDCA cycles, advancing the progress management, targets and KPI and formulation of measurement criteria. In addition to the Sustainability Committee conducting periodic reviews of the sustainability priority items to be addressed, working groups under the purview of the Sustainability Committee promote activities for each of the key themes, and regularly report on its progress and plans to management.
The Board of Directors enlists a corporate governance system aiming to realize the Mid-Long Term Business Strategy by exercising its supervisory function involving discussions with business divisions from diverse perspectives via business execution progress reports and information sharing from the business divisions. The Board of Directors receives and reviews regular reports on the status of sustainability initiatives such as achieving carbon neutrality, circular economy, and promoting a nature-positive world.
