Sustainability Committee
We address climate change as an important management issue that must be handled in a concerted manner by the entire company. The Sustainability Committee, chaired by the President & CEO, works with the Sustainability Promotion Department, which serves as the secretariat. The committee sets targets, monitors progress, and evaluates achievements related to sustainability activities, including measures to address climate change, in alignment with each business unit, thereby ensuring the ongoing implementation of various sustainability measures.
Initiatives for sustainability promotion

We will formulate action policies to promote sustainability activities across the entire company.
- Evaluation criteria / monitoring and assessment
From the fiscal year ending February 2024, we have introduced assessment metrics for our sustainability initiatives, including CO2 reduction as a component of the performance-linked stock compensation paid to Directors. In addition, KPIs for each business unit are determined in line with materiality and monitored at monthly management meetings of each division.
