Promotion Framework
In January 2022, we established the Sustainability Management Committee with the president as chairperson and Management Council members as committee members, and we are promoting initiatives such as discussing and verifying important issues and goals related to sustainability.
Furthermore, we have established subcommittees under the Sustainability Committee to handle issues related to the SDGs, carbon neutrality, etc., and each of these subcommittees are promoting specialized initiatives for each theme.
