Sustainability Management Policy and Materiality Guidelines

1.Sustainability Management Policy

We demonstrate our role in realizing a sustainable society. We will also envision a carbon-neutral energy cycle, a circular economy in such a society, and business operations that prioritize human rights and avoid any violations. By strategically allocating our resources, we can achieve sustainable growth while adapting to changes in the business environment anticipated over a long time until we achieve these visions.
