Over the past year, the Company has made a big turn of the wheel toward sustainability management. In April 2022, we established a Sustainability Committee chaired by the President, and a full-time outside director who is an Audit & Supervisory Committee member also serves as a committee member, and discussions include an outside perspective. Additionally, in January 2023, we established the ESG Management Department as the secretariat of the Sustainability Committee. We have established a Sustainability Promotion Section and a Global Environment Affair Section within the ESG Management Department to strongly promote ESG management. [...] The Sustainability Committee conducts planning and drafting of proposals and provides opinions with regard to basic management policies, as well as promotional activities and strategies related to sustainability. Important matters are decided after being reported to or put on the agenda of the Board of Directors. The Committee met ten times in fiscal 2022.
