Sharp Corp/Japan

In May 2023, Sharp launched the Sustainability Committee, of which I am the chairperson. This committee will be the spearhead for a range of aggressive initiatives aimed at achieving a sustainable society. For example, the entire company will work to attain the medium-term environmental goals, which we set toward realizing our long-term environmental vision, SHARP Eco Vision 2050. One of these goals is achieving net zero CO2 emissions in Sharp business activities. [...] To execute these strategies and manage them in a PDCA cycle, the company launched the Sustainability Committee, which is chaired by the president & CEO of Sharp and comprises members of top management, Head Office divisions such as environment, personnel, and procurement, business units, and subsidiaries. The committee engrains policies and visions into the Sharp Group, discusses crucial measures, and shares the latest trends in social issues. In addition, the committee reports important policies and decisions to the Board of Directors.
