Governance

Our Group has established a “Sustainability Committee” chaired by the President & CEO and made up of the responsible persons of related business divisions as well as advisors, to deliberate and decide on Group-wide sustainability policies and measures, and to manage the progress of these measures.
The results of these deliberations are regularly reported to the Board of Directors, which serves a supervisory role.
We have also established subcommittees of Sustainability Committee, made up of persons in charge from each business division, headquarters, and each Group company to facilitate fulfilling discussions and flexible response.

Risk Management

Our Group has established a “Risk Management Committee” chaired by the Director in charge of risk management in order to earn the trust of our stakeholders and fulfill our corporate social responsibility by endeavoring to understand the various risks faced by the Group and take measures against such risks in order to reduce the frequency of occurrence and minimize losses.
The Risk Management Committee identifies important company-wide risks and opportunities, and deliberates on the outcomes of the analysis of risks and opportunities in each business division and Group company. The outcomes of the Risk Management Committee’s deliberation are reflected in the implementation of risk countermeasures and the execution of business.
We have also established an environmental management system (EMS) based on ISO 14001 to respond to environmental issues, and the outcomes of EMS activities are reported to the Risk Management Committee.
