Governance and Risk Management for Sustainability

Our Group has established a Sustainability Committee reporting directly to the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) to contribute to sustainable social development through our business activities. While company-wide risk management is handled by the Risk Management Committee, the Sustainability Committee is primarily responsible for collecting sustainability-related information, including climate change risks, identifying risks and opportunities, reflecting these in business strategy, and driving related initiatives. The Sustainability Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors.
