Sustainability ─ Environment
Basic Environmental Policy
The Group Companies recognize that maintaining a healthy environment is essential for nurturing a sound society and bringing about a prosperous economy, as it is necessary to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Therefore, we consider environmental conservation to be an important element in our group’s business activities as a member of society, and we actively promote various initiatives that take the environment into account.
TCFD Support
The Company have announced our support to TCFD(Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure)established by the FSB(Financial Stability Board) in August 2021 and joined the TCFD consortium.
We will actively promote efforts to address various environmental issues, including climate change, and disclose information in line with the disclosure framework proposed by TCFD (governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets related to climate risks and opportunities).
*TCFD was established in December 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) in response to a request from the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors. The TCFD aims to develop recommendations for voluntary climate-related financial disclosures that are consistent, comparable, reliable, clear, and efficient, and provide decision-useful information to lenders, insurers, investors, and other stakeholders.
*The TCFD Consortium, established in Japan, discusses efforts to effectively disclose information and connect disclosed information to appropriate investment decisions by financial institutions and others.
