Policy for Sustainability


Basic Approach

Our mission is contributing to local communities through energy. As a company that provides energy in the last mile, we will enhance our corporate value over the medium- to long-term while solving diverse communities’ issues such as climate change, labor shortages, improving operational efficiency in the energy industry, and changing consumer needs.
To achieve these issues, we will evolve the way of energy. Specifically, we will expand our "Energy Solution Business," which proposes optimal energy use, and our "Platform Business," in which we share our highly efficient infrastructure across the industry, to solve social issues and maximize corporate value. In addition, we will maximize the value of employees who continue to address the challenges of new initiatives to expand these businesses.

Sustainability Promotion Structure

We believe that for sustainable growth, it is essential to not only raise profits but have a governance system that promotes co-prosperity with various stakeholders surrounding us, including the environment and society. We have established the Nomination and Remuneration, Environmental, etc., Committee ("NR&E Committee") as a voluntary advisory committee to the Board of Directors, and discusses with an emphasis on sustainability. The Board of Directors decides policies for addressing each sustainability issue after discussion by the Committee, and the Management Meeting and each department address the issues.

Material Issues

Material issues are defined as important matters that affect medium- to long-term corporate value. Based on the content already established, the Board of Directors reviews material issues and priority initiatives after consulting and reporting to the Nomination and Remuneration, Environmental, etc., Committee (NR&E Committee).
