Sustainability Promotion System and Governance and Risk Management

The SUMINOE GROUP holds meetings of the CSR Promotion Committee three times a year, under the corporate governance and CSR promotion system. Chaired by the Managing Director and Representative Director (General Manager of Administration Headquarters), the Committee deliberates on the activity policies and important challenges in the CSR and sustainability fields, related risks to be addressed with priority, etc. The results of deliberations are reported to the CSR & Internal Control Council (Executive Committee) and then approved of at the meeting of the Board of Directors.
