Governance
Supervisory Promotion System of ESG Management
SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group promotes ESG management on an integrated Group-wide basis through an oversight and promotion system made up of the Board of Directors, which fulfills a supervisory function, the Sustainability Committee, which fulfills a business execution function, and eight subordinate subcommittees. Under this system, we monitor activities related to the key issues facing the Group that are carried out by each principal and related department of SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group’s Corporate Headquarters and divisional companies.
Board of Directors：
The Board of Directors receives reports on policies, strategies, and Group-wide risks deliberated by the Sustainability Committee twice a year. In addition to making final decisions, the Board oversees the executive function regarding sustainability.
Sustainability Committee:
Chaired by the President, the Sustainability Committee’s membership also includes the Senior Managing Executive Officer Responsible for the ESG Management Department serving as deputy chairperson, as well as executive directors including the presidents of the Housing Company, the UIEP Company, and the HPP Company. Meeting two times each year, the Sustainability Committee verifies risks and opportunities that the Group may face in the future, and reviews materiality as appropriate. At the same time, the Committee determines Group-wide policies and KPIs, formulates Group-wide action plans, receives reports from each subcommittee chairperson, and monitors the status of each materiality initiative.
Subcommittees:
SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group has established eight subcommittees related to the Group’s materialities covering the environment, CS & Quality, human resources, safety, compliance, cyber security, DX, and Human Rights, which was newly established in April 2024, under the umbrella of the Sustainability Committee.
Meeting two times every year, each of the seven subcommittees, excluding the Human Rights Subcommittee, is chaired by the executive in charge of Corporate Headquarters and includes the executives of each divisional company as well as general managers of divisional companies, Corporate Headquarters, and the Medical Business, which falls under the umbrella of Corporate Headquarters. The Human Rights Subcommittee is chaired by the Executive Officer and Head of the Human Resources Department of Corporate Headquarters, and is comprised of executive officers in charge of each related Corporate Headquarters area.
Each subcommittee drafts specific measures for each divisional company based on details determined by the Sustainability Committee. These measures are incorporated into action plans and the status of progress monitored. The chairperson of each subcommittee participates in meetings of the Sustainability Committee to report on and discuss results.
