Under the Global Executive Committee (Global EXCO), which is Bridgestone's highest-level committee overseeing its business strategy and execution, committees have been established based on management strategy and issues, with the Global CTO and Global CAO･Global CSO in charge, and each committee promotes initiatives to resolve issues across the regions and organizations. The Global CTO and Global CAO･Global CSO are responsible for the cross-functional and global optimization of these activities and they report and make recommendations to Global EXCO on management challenges of the respective business areas. In the area of sustainability, several related committees, including the Global Sustainability Committee (GSC), operating under the purview of the Global CAO･Global CSO, 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 GSC conducting periodic reviews of the sustainability priority items to be addressed, working groups under the purview of the GSC promote activities for each of the key themes, and report on its progress and plans to the committees at least quarterly.
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.
