Promotion structure for sustainability strategy
As of April 1, 2024
In the domain of sustainability, the Tamura Group is working to advance strategies in the six areas of "compliance/ethics," "risk management," "human rights and labor," "environment," "quality," and "social contribution."
Regarding our governance and promotion structure in the area of sustainability, we took the transition of Tamura Corporation to the structure of a company with an Audit & Supervisory committee in June 2023 as an opportunity to conduct a comprehensive review and redefine the roles of relevant corporate institutions. (See diagram at right) The Board of Directors is positioned as a supervisory body that decides basic policies and strategies concerning sustainability, and supervises their implementation. Executive divisions below the Executive Officer Committee that is chaired by the President carry out execution, with responsibility for the planning and implementation of specific measures. Following the change to our governance structure and based on discussions by the Board of Directors, we discontinued the Sustainability Management Committee positioned as an advisory body to the Board of Directors, and in April 2024 established the Sustainability Committee as a subcommittee of the Executive Officer Committee. This action was taken to clarify that executive divisions will engage in the integrated promotion of not only business strategy but also sustainability strategy, and to strengthen the driving force for doing so. The members composing the Sustainability Committee are the same as the members of the Executive Officer Committee.
We have begun operating the Sustainability Committee as a specialized committee for properly discussing cross-departmental and medium- to long-term issues and measures, including the promotion of our materialities. The committee generally meets twice a year to manage the progress of our sustainability strategy, deliberate on related agenda items, and report to the Executive Officer Committee, which in turn reports to the Board of Directors.
