At Toyota Tsusho, we deliberate upon risks, business opportunities, and action plans related to the environment—including climate change—at the Global Safety & Environmental Promotion Meeting, which is held regularly once a year. Our PDCA improvement cycle is also checked at the meeting.The content of these deliberations is incorporated into our business activities via the representatives of the sales divisions and group companies who make up the meeting. Business opportunities tied to climate change have been identified as one of our Materialities. The action plans for our Materialities are deliberated by the Sustainability Management Committee, which also meets regularly once a year, then reported to the Board of Directors as appropriate. The content of these deliberations is incorporated into our business strategies via the representatives of the sales divisions who make up the committee. From 2020, the committee has also been tasked with setting KPIs and has been reviewing their progress. [...] Given the characteristics of our businesses, we ensure that we manage environmental risks—which include climate change—to a high standard. Business opportunities and risks related to climate change are deliberated by the Global Safety & Environmental Promotion Meeting and the Sustainability Management Committee, and their members and responsible departments incorporate the contents of these deliberations into our business strategies and activities. [...] At Toyota Tsusho, our officers participate in various meetings to see the impacts that our investment activities have on ESG: the CSO takes part in the Investment and Loan Committee; the assistant to the CSO in the Investment and Loan Meeting; and the CSO, the assistant to the CSO, and general manager of the Corporate Planning Department in the Investment Strategy Meeting. Among the evaluation items at the Investment and Loan Committee and the Investment and Loan Meeting, there exist environmental risks. Regardless of their sizes, we identify those risks that exceed certain condition thresholds set by either of the Investment and Loan Committee or the Investment and Loan Meeting. Should there be any concerns, we are required to address them and to report subsequent improvement measures.
