ESG Promotion System

On April 1, 2022, we reorganized our ESG-related organization and established the Engine of Sustainability Management to oversee and enhance ESG management. This task force consists of nine implementation organizations (including the ESG Committee newly established as of April 1, 2024), which work to promote ESG and the SDGs by overseeing the activities of all related departments across the organization. We will work to protect the environment and strengthen “Wellness First” health management to support a society that nurtures life.
