Dialogue with Stakeholders

Approach and Policies

We serve a wide range of stakeholders through the Group’s products and services, and our mission is to operate the organization sustainably. Our responsibility, therefore, is to achieve the SDGs and resolve social and environmental issues that could pose risks to the Group’s business. We enhance our communication with stakeholders to listen and respond better to requests and expectations from all of them, and we strive to earn their trust toward co-creating shared value.

Overview of Stakeholder Engagement

The Group’s main stakeholders are customers, employees, suppliers, investors, sustainability experts (including experts in socially responsible investment, environmental issues), and NPOs/NGOs (e.g., environmental, community, architecture). We are committed to engaging in good-faith communications and building trusting relationships with them. Opinions received through these interactions are reported to the Sustainability Committee and the Human Resource, Wellness, D&I Committee, which are chaired by the Group CEO.
