Environmental Management
In its business activities, the Hakuhodo DY Group will comply with environment-related laws, regulations, and industry standards, and we will voluntarily work to reduce our environmental impacts. In addition, we will leverage each employee’s creativity, ability to take action, and capacity to make things happen as we aim to support the realization and development of a sustainable society through our business and other activities with our business partners.
Hakuhodo DY Group Environmental Policy
The Hakuhodo DY Group’s Global Purpose is “Aspirations Unleashed break down boundaries, open new doors and usher in new eras for every sei-katsu-sha, organization and society.”
In line with this Global Purpose, by helping to solve the challenges faced by our business partners and society, we aim to create a society abounding in sei-katsu-sha’s aspirations and where they can live vibrant lives. We recognize that a sound and sustainable global environment—the very foundation of all our activities—is indispensable to achieving this.
Elevating Sei-katsu-sha Centric Mindset, which takes sei-katsu-sha’s aspirations and everyday lives as its starting point, and Commitment to Partnership as philosophies to be held dear, we will conduct business activities that are thorough in their approach to compliance with environmental laws, regulations, ordinances, and industry standards. Furthermore, by leveraging the creativity of the Group, we will foster co-creation among sei-katsu-sha, organizations and society, encouraging environmental behavioral change and contributing to the reduction of negative environmental impacts and the development of a sustainable society.
The implementation of this policy and the promotion of sustainability will be overseen at the management level by the Hakuhodo DY Group Sustainability Committee, which will monitor progress and conduct regular reviews.
Implementation Structure
Group Sustainability Committee meetings, which are held twice a year, provide oversight at the management level and manage and review progress on climate change risks and opportunities. Significant matters are reported to, deliberated by, and decided upon by the Board of Directors, and when necessary are referred to the Group Compliance Committee, thereby establishing an appropriate risk management system.
