Sustainability Management
Sustainability Management System
In order to further strengthen its sustainability promotion system, in March 2022 the DNP Group established the Sustainability Committee consisting of directors and corporate officers in charge of the head office divisions. This committee, chaired by the president and vice-chaired by senior managing directors, collaborates with the Corporate Ethics Committee and the BCM Promotion Committee to manage medium- to long-term company-wide risks, with an emphasis on ESG (environment, society, governance). The Sustainability Committee meets regularly, four times a year, and at other times as necessary for the purposes of managing medium to long-term management risks relating to sustainability, identifying business opportunities and reflecting them in management strategies; and delivers reports and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors receives reports and recommendations on matters discussed and resolved by the Sustainability Committee, and deliberates and supervises policies and action plans, etc.,
Principal themes：CSR Management
DNP has set eight principal themes to be addressed as part of CSR management. In addition to identifying themes that we deem important and a priority based primarily on our management strategy and business fields, we also include themes that the international community views as critical, starting with the United Nations Global Compact* Ten Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and comprehensively analyze them.
*DNP announced its support for the United Nations Global Compact in July 2006.
*DNP agrees with the initiatives of the United Nations Global Compact’s local network in Japan (Global Compact Network Japan) and participates in subcommittees that are based on such themes as human rights, the environment, and procurement.
