Established on April 1, 2023

Addressing overall sustainability issues as an important theme, the Company established the ESG & SDGs Project, led by the Representative Director & Chief Executive Officer, and has been promoting it as a company-wide project. The contents of relevant discussions and decisions are reported to the Board of Directors, and the Board provides approval on the Company’s initiatives, issues instructions and conducts supervision, as necessary. The Board of Directors also makes reports to the General Managers Committee and provides necessary instructions and supervision. The Group set non-financial targets in May 2022 and also established KPIs for FY2030. The Group adopted a system under which General Managers not concurrently serving as Directors assume responsibility for achievement of these KPIs. Under this system, the Group will continue monitoring the progress of each of the measures implemented, thereby increasing the likelihood of achievement of “a safe, secure, and gentle society in which people, cars, and the environment exist in harmony.”
