The Climate Change Countermeasure Steering Committee, established on April 1, 2021 was renamed the Environmental Committee in fiscal 2024. Chaired by the president, the committee organizes working groups for specific initiatives, including carbon neutral measures, recycling, conversion to aluminum, and procurement of raw materials, and in fiscal 2024 added initiatives for circular economy, nature positive, and environmental management. The committee reports important results of the working group's examinations and activities at management meetings and the board of directors to receive the decisions of management, which conducts direct governance of its activities. [...] A TCFD Response Team that has been set up within the secretariat of the Environmental Committee is tasked with identifying risks and opportunities in line with the TCFD framework, and creating scenario road maps. As UACJ has a policy of addressing climate change as a unified Group, the TCFD Response Team includes members from broad cross-section of organizations within the Group, including sales, manufacturing, legal, risk management, public relations, sustainability promotion, and the finance division.
