2019 Material Issues to Be Addressed as Management Priorities
In 2019, the first year of the Corporate Business Plan for 2019 to 2021, we set seven themes by referring to the material issues we will address as management priorities.
In the Global Project, at each Group company, the top management selected some of those themes and posted a message to show their commitment to resolving societal issues, and managers in charge of sustainability invited officers and employees to join in. Participants, first of all, took a quiz and answered questions on each of the themes, enjoying learning about the connection of societal issues and each of our material issues and about the Group's sustainability initiatives, and then considered what they could do to promote sustainability through their own work or their workplace initiatives and posted their thoughts and commitment.
Seven Themes
-
Note: カジノ シークレット 登録 方法even themes include: “safety, compliance, and human rights,” selected from the items serving as the foundation for business continuity; “digital innovation” and “the creation of workplaces that bring out diverse capabilities,” efforts that we consider to be forces that drive our business forward; and “the environment,” “healthcare,” “ICT,” and “food and agriculture,” material issues that we will address to contribute to society through our business. These major themes represent our commitment to realizing a sustainable future.

2020-2021 Initiatives
In from 2020 to 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic caused major changes in the business environments and values around the world. Amid this situation, we established カジノ シークレット 登録 方法logan "Build Back Better by JIRI RITA with the aim of promoting sustainability during the pandemic in line with our Corporate Philosophy and stance on resolving issues confronting society through our business, which is the Group's DNA.
To enable people to take ownership of the issues that must be addressed to realize a sustainable society, we added a vocabulary list to the dedicated website so they can fully comprehend terms related to sustainability, enjoy learning about global trends and the Group's initiatives through quizzes and case studies, and post and share their efforts, endeavors, and determination to solve issues as individuals or part of a team.
