Governance that promotes sustainability
Governance
The Group positions sustainability as one of its key management priorities and has established the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director.
The Committee serves as a forum for cross-functional discussions on important sustainability related matters, including environmental and human capital issues. In principle, it meets at least twice a year to formulate sustainability policies and action plans, monitor the progress of various initiatives, and evaluate the extent to which targets have been achieved, taking into account changes in the business environment and broader social trends affecting the Group.
In addition, priority issues and response policies discussed by the Sustainability Committee, together with the status of their implementation, are reported to the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Based o these reports, the Board oversees such matters from the perspective of consistency with the Group’s business strategy and medium- to long-term management policies.
Through this framework of reporting and oversight, sustainability issues are treated not merely as individual initiatives, but as important matters linked to management decision-making and are addressed within the Group’s governance framework. The Board includes individuals with extensive experience as well as deep insight and expertise in sustainability, and is responsible for making important decisions and providing oversight on sustainability-related matters.

Risk Management
In formulating and executing business strategies, the Group identifies factors that impede the achievement of business objectives as risks, classifies them by the degree of impact on business management and frequency of occurrence, and determines important risks for the Group based on assessment results. When material risks become apparent, we focus on monitoring the progress of risk countermeasures, with risks that have a significant impact on our business as risks that require monitoring, and work to strengthen risk countermeasures across the Group.
In implementing our business strategies, we have established a risk management system that provides appropriate responses to prevent potential risks from occurring, and a crisis management system that minimizes losses in the event of serious risks arising.
Risks that derive from sustainability issues are identified from individual departments by the Sustainability Committee. They are then examined both qualitatively and quantitatively and the findings are reported to the Risk Management and Compliance Committee. Thus, they are incorporated into the risk management of the entire Group.
