Sustainability Promotion Structure

The President and Representative Director is responsible for the Company’s overall sustainability strategy, including its response to climate change.

To promote sustainability, the Company has established a Sustainability Committee chaired by the President. In addition to the President, the Committee is composed of the directors who head Safety Promotion and Quality Assurance, Sales, Corporate Administration, and Production.

As a rule, the Committee meets twice a year to formulate sustainability policies, discuss initiatives, set targets, manage progress, and report to the Board of Directors. The Board receives reports from the Sustainability Committee and monitors and oversees the Company’s responses to key issues and progress toward its targets.

Under the Sustainability Committee are three bodies: the Sustainability Project Team, led by the head of Corporate Administration; the TCFD Disclosure Project Team, led by the President; and the Group Sustainability Liaison Meeting, led by the head of Corporate Administration.

The Sustainability Project Team is supported by the President’s Office and the ESG Promotion Office and is composed of the heads of the Production, Sales, Corporate Administration, and Quality Assurance divisions. The team discusses a broad range of sustainability-related measures and initiatives.

The TCFD Disclosure Project Team is supported by the ESG Promotion Office, the President’s Office, and the Quality Assurance Department, and is composed of the heads of the Packaging Business, Housing Business, and Transportation and Logistics Business. The team discusses climate-related risks and opportunities, as well as response measures, from the perspectives of the different businesses.

The Group Sustainability Liaison Meeting is supported by the President’s Office and the ESG Promotion Office and is composed of executives from the core companies in the Housing Business and Transportation and Logistics Business. In coordination with both Project Teams, the Meeting discusses Group-wide sustainability issues and responses to climate change, aligns the overall direction of the Group, and provides guidance and advice to Group companies.

Both Project Teams and the Group Sustainability Liaison Meeting work together to submit proposals to the Sustainability Committee, which reviews and deliberates them.
