Governance
The Group recognizes sustainability action as one of its key managerial priorities. For this action, the Group has a corporate governance system in place with the Sustainability Promotion Committee playing a central role, subject to supervision by the Board of Directors.
System of supervision by the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors monitors the Group’s engagement and target attainment performance with regard to sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities, based on reporting from the Sustainability Promotion Committee. It also supervises new measures and targets.
Important matters related to human capital are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. These include investments concerning human capital, appointments and dismissals of officials and those of a higher position at key divisions and departments, and decisions on and changes to important standards for working conditions. Appointments and dismissals of other employees and labor management, as well as various measures, including those to advance the administration of health management, are also reported to and supervised by the Board of Directors.
Sustainability Promotion Committee
The Sustainability Promotion Committee is comprised of members from the sales, logistics, pharmaceutical affairs, and administration functions. It identifies important issues (materiality), including matters related to climate change, and deliberates on our sustainability strategy, which involves, among other things, our actions for the Environment (E), Social (S), Governance (G), digital transformation (DX), etc. The results are reported to the Board of Directors. Chaired by the Senior Executive Managing Director and COO, the Committee conducts action planning, target setting, progress control, and effectiveness assessment based on the Sustainability Policy. Every year, the Committee assesses the impacts of climate change on our business, devises measures to cope with them, and sets relevant targets, all in accordance with a policy aimed at minimizing the identified risks and seizing on the opportunities involved. The Committee also regularly checks the status of achievement of targets and continuously implements measures for improvement.
