###### Promotion of Sustainability Activities\n\nTo ensure the implementation of sustainability initiatives, the Kureha Group has established a governance structure centered on the Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Coordination Committee, and has oversight by its Board of Directors.\n\n###### Sustainability Committee\n\nThe Sustainability Committee principally meets twice a year as an advisory committee to the Board of Directors. The Committee monitors changes in the business environment surrounding the Group with regard to sustainability and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors about basic management policies and strategies related to sustainability, such as identifying material issues that require special focus for the Group's sustainable growth and enhancement of corporate value over the medium to long term. The Committee also monitors material issues through reports from the Sustainability Coordination Committee and other means.\n\nThe Sustainability Committee is chaired by the President and Representative Director and consists of all directors. Experts from outside Kureha are invited to participate in discussions as needed.\n\n###### Sustainability Coordination Committee\n\nThe Sustainability Coordination Committee has been established to promote sustainability activities throughout the Group. The Sustainability Coordination Committee identifies risks and opportunities that affect the sustainability of the Group and society as "sustainability issues," and works together with stakeholders to minimize risks and maximize opportunities. The Committee formulates specific plans for resolving sustainability issues, including material issues, in collaboration with its six subcommittees (Responsible Care Subcommittee, Compliance Subcommittee, Information Security Subcommittee, Information Disclosure Subcommittee, Human Rights Subcommittee, and Risk Management Subcommittee) and the departments in charge of each issue, and manages the progress of these activities. These results are shared with the Sustainability Committee. The Committee also reports to the Board of Directors at least once a year on activities related to material issues.\n\nThe Sustainability Coordination Committee is chaired by the President & Chief Executive Officer (or an inside director or vice president appointed by the President & Chief Executive Officer), who appoints committee members from the divisions in charge of each sustainability issue and relevant departments.
