Disclosure (about the Sustainability Website)
We believe that the cycle of disclosing our sustainability initiatives in a timely and appropriate manner based on the requests of our stakeholders, gaining their understanding, and reflecting their feedback on our initiatives is crucial. We will continue to proactively disclose sustainability-related information based on the recognition that this cycle contributes to enhancing our corporate value over the medium to long term.
Disclosures are made through the Sustainability Website after approval by the Chief Stakeholder Engagement Officer (CSEO) and after reporting to the Disclosure Committee, a subcommittee of the Executive Committee.
The website was established with the aim of centralizing ESG-related information disclosed separately through such channels as the Integrated Report and the ESG Data Book, and of responding in a timely manner to the increasingly complex requirements of ESG evaluation bodies and disclosure standards. The website is primarily aimed at stakeholders who have a strong interest in ESG investment. Referring to multiple ESG reporting guidelines, it has been organized according to ESG topic for easier reference. Disclosures can also be downloaded in a conventional report format as a PDF.
Looking ahead, we will continue striving to ensure that our ESG disclosure serves as an effective communication tool that contributes to constructive stakeholder dialogue by improving the clarity of our reporting based on the valued feedback we receive from our stakeholders.
