Addressing opportunities and risks related to climate change and natural capital (TCFD, TNFD, etc.)

Economic development is dependent on social conditions such as livelihood and education, and society is supported by the natural environment. Therefore, the maintenance and conservation of the environment is a prerequisite for realizing sustainable local communities and achieving the sustainable growth of both local communities and the Group. We recognize that responding to climate change and environmental conservation is one of the key factors in our business strategy. Going forward, we will continue to strive to reduce the environmental burden of our corporate activities and strengthen our efforts for environmental conservation through our business activities, such as by providing services that contribute to environmental conservation and motivating the supply chain. We will also proactively disclose information based on the TCFD/TNFD Recommendations, thereby further enhancing our position through stakeholder engagement.

Governance

The Group shows its stance on initiatives to address environmental issues in its Corporate Ethics, the basic policy in conducting its business activities, and engages proactively in environmental conservation activities through its group companies.
We recognize that responding to climate change and environmental conservation are important social issues related to sustainability, and have identified “Contribute to Realizing a Decarbonized Society and Environment Conservation” as a materiality, which we manage and supervise as part of our governance structure for sustainability.
