Sustainability Charter
CSR and Sustainability Charter
We contribute to develop a sustainable society, thereby improving our corporate value.
We build relations of trust with our stakeholders while making highly transparent decisions and actions.
We cocreate and provide new value to solving social issues.
Our corporate philosophy includes slogans like "proposing new value" and "contributing" to people around the world and shows our desire to contribute to society. This leads to sustainability, through our contributions to solving social issues through our business. Based on this belief, we believe that our mission and reason for existence is to create products and services that contribute to solving various social issues.
We established the CSR and Sustainability Charter, the Corporate Code of Conduct and the CSR Basic Policies (12 policies in total) in order to present this idea in a ready-to-understand manner and for broad communication both internally and externally, and we promote CSR / Sustainability. The CSR Basic Policies have been approved by the Board of Directors and take precedence in all processes in all businesses of the Niterra Group, including research and development, design, production, procurement of materials, logistics, selection of business partners, and joint ventures and acquisitions. We have also established a system to promote the realization of a sustainable society.
We have expressed our support for international norms, goals, and guidelines such as the UN Global Compact, ISO26000, SDGs, and TCFD, based on our commitment to contribute to solving social issues through our business activities.
CSR and Sustainability Promotion System
To ensure sustainable growth for our group and society, we have established the CSR and Sustainability Committee (which holds regular meetings four times a year and extraordinary meetings as needed), which is chaired by an outside director, focuses on external perspectives, identifies priority management issues for three fields of "solution to social issues" "human capital," and "business infrastructure."
The CSR and Sustainability Committee responds to inquiries from the Board of Directors by external experts will be invited as guest committee members to enhance the knowledge and perspective, and discussions will be held to promote sustainability management with a long-term perspective.
Furthermore, for significant ESG themes, subcommittees are established under the CSR and Sustainability Committee for close monitoring. Currently, the Human Rights Subcommittee has been launched to supervise the effectiveness of human rights due diligence.
Each special committee monitors whether their respective specialized operations are functioning effectively.
Progress on "responding to climate change" and "risk management," which are major initiatives of priority management issues, has been shared with the CSR and Sustainability Committee.
Important decisions made by special committees are reported to the board of directors through the Management Meeting which deliberates, decides, and supervises important matters in business execution.
