Sustainability Management
Based on the "enterprising spirit" raised in its corporate philosophy, the OKI Group is contributing to resolving social issues through the key Japanese concepts of Mono-zukuri and Koto-zukuri, and will also practice corporate activities built on integrity that are worthy of the trust of stakeholders.
The OKI Group has been promoting initiatives to sustainably implement corporate activities built on integrity that meet the expectations of stakeholders. The actions to be taken by all OKI Group employees are summarized in the OKI Group Charter of Corporate Conduct and the OKI Group Code of Conduct, by positioning them as the foundation of the values that the OKI Group should share, we have been working to raise awareness through actions that are more familiar to people.
While continuing this approach over the long term, in order to strengthen our sustainability efforts, we established the Sustainability Promotion Working Group (WG) chaired by the President in fiscal year 2020. The WG has been promoting activities based on the Material Issues defined in the Medium-Term Business Plan 2022.
In addition, we are promoting internal education and awareness-raising activities with the aim of fostering awareness in each employee to undertake initiatives as a matter of personal concern. In fiscal year 2022, in addition to implementing sustainability education for all Group employees in Japan, we held an internal forum on the theme of "Sustainability and Corporate Growth" with the President and the heads of related divisions as speakers.
In May 2023, the OKI Group announced its Medium-Term Business Plan 2025, which outlines our medium-term initiatives. In formulating the Plan, we reorganized OKI's issues and updated our Material Issues in accordance with the process shown on page 35. We will steadily promote ESG initiatives through implementation of "providing products and services that help solve social issues" in the three fields of contribution, as well as its underlying issues of "reducing environmental impact through business activities," "transforming into a corporate culture that continuously creates value," and "strengthening management foundation to support sustainable growth."
Along with the formulation of the Medium-Term Business Plan 2025, in April 2023, the Sustainability Promotion WG was transformed into the dedicated Sustainability Promotion & Corporate Communication Division and a new executive officer in charge was appointed. Under the new structure, we will promote initiatives based on the updated Material Issues, appropriately disclose progress, and engage in dialogue with stakeholders based on this to accurately grasp our own issues and the demands of society, which will lead to the strengthening of our activities.
The following is an overview of the Materiality formulated in the previous medium-term business plan and the ESG initiatives that embody the Materiality in fiscal year 2022.
