Under the supervision of the Board of Directors, and in order to promote sustainability management across the Group, we have established the Group Sustainability Committee as a decision-making body for sustainability-related initiatives, including those related to climate change, with the President as the responsible chairman, the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) as vice chairman, the Representative Director, Chairman, and all executive officers, and the presidents of Group companies as members. The Group Sustainability Committee meets as needed to formulate company-wide sustainability-related policies, targets, and measures, identify materiality issues, monitor and periodically review them, and establish and maintain a sustainability promotion system. The Committee also reports to the Board of Directors on sustainability promotion activities. The Committee also includes outside directors and officers in an advisory capacity to receive suggestions and advice from outside perspectives. [...] The Group Risk Compliance Committee, which is chaired by the President and includes the Chairman and all executive officers as members, has been established to oversee risk management for the entire Group, including climate change-related risks. The committee identifies various risks, including climate change-related risks, in an integrated manner and identifies risks that need to be addressed, taking into consideration the degree of impact of the risks. The Committee also designates a lead department for each risk to be addressed and implements appropriate preventive and response measures. Since the degree of impact of risks is constantly changing in response to changes in the environment, the risks are reevaluated once a year. Information on the deliberations by the Group Risk Compliance Committee is shared with outside officers to ensure transparency of the risk management system. In addition, outside officers serve as advisors to the Committee to receive suggestions and advice from outside perspectives. [...] Our Group supports and is involved in the activities of organizations and initiatives that address climate change. In the unlikely event that the policies of such organizations and initiatives conflict with those of our Group—particularly our commitment to the realization of the Paris Agreement—we will work together to resolve the discrepancies in line with the procedures set by relevant industry associations, so that we can continue to act in a manner consistent with our own policies. If the divergence is substantial and alignment proves difficult, we will take appropriate action, including possible withdrawal. We will also regularly assess, including at the time of new participation, whether such industry associations support the Paris Agreement.
