Governance

The Board of Directors receives reports and advice from the Sustainability Promotion Committee on climate change risks, continuously monitors the situation, formulates policies and oversees various initiatives, and directs the review of business strategies and responses as necessary.

Risk management

The Risk Management Committee identifies risks that need to be managed based on the “Basic Rules for Management Risk Management,” and climate change risk is positioned as one of them.

The Sustainability Promotion Department, as the department in charge of climate change risk, monitors environmental changes associated with climate change, identifies and assesses risks (opportunities and threats), and reports to the Risk Management Committee after consultation with the Sustainability Promotion Committee.

If climate change risks that have a high impact on our business are identified, we will report them to the Risk Management Committee and take appropriate action and disclose them as material risks.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)

The following are the results of our group’s greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions calculations.

fiscal year (usu. April 1 to March 31) Fiscal Year 2021 Fiscal Year 2022 Fiscal Year 2023
GHG emissions 10,412(t-CO2) 12,167(t-CO2) 17,466(t-CO2)

  • Boundaries were extended and calculation methods were revised starting June 2024; therefore, calculations are retroactive.

In FY2020 and FY2021, remote work is increasing due to the response to the new coronavirus, but we will monitor emission values each year and work to control emissions appropriately.
