We have established the Sustainability Committee as an advisory body to the Management Committee. The Committee discusses matters such as the drafting of company-wide initiative policy (including Group companies), the status and enhancement of initiatives for sustainability priority issues, and information disclosure and initiatives to facilitate understanding inside and outside the Company. With the Sustainability Management Department and Responsible Investment and Lending Promotion Office as its secretariat, the Committee meets four times a year, with core members consisting of the Executive Responsible for Planning, executives responsible for each business unit, and executives from each domestic Group company responsible for sustainability. In addition, the Sustainability Working Groups led by department managers provide forums for a wide range of discussions to further promote sustainability management.
Moreover, to incorporate views and evaluations from a wide range of stakeholders, in addition to our existing Sustainability Advisory Meetings, we also collect views from outside directors, policyholders, and others, and incorporate these perspectives into our sustainability management as we aim for further advancement.
