Our Group recognizes that addressing sustainability-related issues such as climate change and human rights is a key management issue that reduces risk and drives corporate growth, and we have established the sustainability management system shown below. Matters examined and deliberated by the Sustainability Committee are submitted as recommendations to the Management Meeting and then further reviewed and deliberated by the Management Meeting and the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors receives reports on the Basic Sustainability Policy, material issues, targets for these issues, and policies for responding to risks and opportunities. These matters are approved by the Management Meeting based on recommendations from the regularly held Sustainability Committee. Through this process, the Board oversees the executive management’s initiatives regarding overall sustainability.
We have established the Sustainability Committee as an advisory body to the Management Meeting. The Sustainability Committee meets regularly and is chaired by the Representative Director, President & CEO. It is composed of directors, executive officers, and external experts appointed by the Chair. The Committee is responsible for the following:
To promote sustainability initiatives across our Group, we have established the Corporate Sustainability Division within Mitsui DM Sugar Co., Ltd. In collaboration with Group subsidiaries, this division formulates basic policies, material issues, targets, strategies, and action plans for sustainability management. It also promotes specific activities, plans sustainability training and awareness-raising activities, and handles external communications. In addition, implemented activities and future plans are regularly reported to the Board of Directors through the Sustainability Committee and the Management Meeting. The Board of Directors then discusses, evaluates, and improves them to ensure they contribute to our sustainable growth.
