Sustainability Management

Engagement with stakehold

Based on the Group Philosophy, we endeavor to strengthen our engagement with all of our stakeholders, placing great importance on dialogue with them. In the field of governance, in response to opinions from shareholders and investors, we revised the skill matrix for executive management and changed the appointment method for the Chair of the Executive Nomination & Compensation Committee to selecting from independent Outside Directors. In the field of human capital, we hold town-hall meetings with the aim of increasing direct talks between the president and employees.
