Contribute to the creation of an environmentally sound, sustainable economy and society through our business activities
Tokyo Century’s commitment to sustainability is driven by its pursuit of further sustainable development and higher corporate value along with stakeholders as a financial services company, and it thereby contributes to the creation of an environmentally sound, sustainable economy and society. In promoting sustainability management, we envision, with due consideration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a society 10 to 20 years into the future and then take a backcasting approach toward creating financial services that will meet the needs of that time.
Sustainability Management Promotion System
In its pursuit of sustainable growth through sustainability management, Tokyo Century has instituted a monitoring system to confirm the progress of management strategies based on the five key issues identified through our materiality assessment and to provide advice for improvements. Moreover, appropriate governance is practiced and a PDCA (plan–do–check–act) cycle is implemented to improve the effectiveness of sustainability management.
CEO : Chief Executive Officer
CSO : Chief Strategy Officer
CRO : Chief Risk Officer
CAE : Chief Audit Executive
Role of the Sustainability Committee
Established in April 2018, the Sustainability Committee serves as a deliberative body for sustainability management and generally meets twice a year. Critical matters deliberated by the committee are reported to and discussed by the Management Meeting and the Board of Directors, thereby establishing a system of board oversight. Chaired by the Co-Chief Strategy Officer, the committee recognizes sustainability as a key management priority and advances various initiatives, including addressing materiality items.
In addition, as an independent organization led by the Chief Audit Executive (CAE) reporting directly to the President, the Audit Division conducts internal audits (including those on sustainability matters) for Tokyo Century and its Group companies. Standing Corporate Auditors hold monthly meetings with the CAE to exchange information, and significant insights from these discussions are reported to Outside Corporate Auditors at the Audit & Supervisory Board meetings.
The Sustainability Committee collaborates with the Risk Management Committee. Risks related to climate change, personnel and labor management, human rights, and the workplace environment are categorized under operational risk, a non-financial risk category. Tokyo Century has established a framework to monitor them as non-financial risk indicators and report the results to the Management Meeting through the Risk Management Committee twice a year.
