Ono Pharmaceutical Co Ltd

Membership in and withdrawal from initiatives and other groups, as well as policy recommendations made through initiatives, are discussed by the Environmental Committee to determine whether they are in line with our policies, and are then overseen by the Board of Directors through the system described under "Governance," above. In addition, we attend the discussions for policy recommendations in the RE100, of which we are a member.

In order to resolve natural environmental issues, including climate change, we are accelerating our efforts to reduce our environmental impact by participating in initiatives that align with Ono's way of thinking and direction, participating in the activities of industry group committees, and working to lobby the government through industry groups, etc. When it comes to participating in initiatives and other activities, we consider consistency with our business objectives, focus areas, and business activities, and regularly conduct careful examinations on whether there are no major contradictions between industry associations and our company's approach to environmental conservation. If there is a large discrepancy, we even consider withdrawing from the initiative, etc.
