We have consistently positioned the resolution of social issues as a key management priority, and through our sustainability management we have continued to advance ESG initiatives and enhance our disclosures. We believe these efforts have been assessed based on objective, internationally recognized standards.

 

With this selection, we are now included in five of the six Japanese equity ESG indices adopted by GPIF, Japan’s pension fund manager.

 

Our purpose is “Connecting people and society to the future with our value chain.” We will continue to focus on material issues that support sustainable growth for both society and our business, while working to enhance long-term corporate value and maintain the trust of our stakeholders.
