An ESG Strategy Committee chaired by the President and CEO was established to strengthen and promote corporate ESG (typically, the committee meets three times a year, in June, November, and March). To address climate change and other environmental issues, the ESG Strategy Committee carries out measures such as checking whether business activities are conducted according to the Company's Basic Principle and Basic Policies, setting autonomous targets to solve the issue of climate change and checking the progress, and managing risks associated with climate change. Details on matters discussed by the ESG Strategy Committee are provided on the next page. A supervisory framework is in place so that when necessary, the Board of Directors receives reports about important matters that have been discussed at the ESG Strategy Committee and provides instructions. Measures such as agreeing with TCFD recommendations in February 2021, aiming for net-zero CO₂ emissions throughout the JR Kyushu Group by 2050 and establishing interim targets for 2030 toward the goal of net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050 were discussed by the ESG Strategy Committee before being approved by the Board of Directors. Going forward, the Board of Directors will discuss matters such as the direction of initiatives and disclosures related to climate change, the establishment of various targets, and our Environmental Management System, and will strengthen corporate ESG with the aim of realizing a decarbonized society. [...] Our ESG Strategy Committee, chaired by the President and CEO, analyzes risks and opportunities associated with climate change as part of our TCFD measures in order to categorize and assess risks to the Group's businesses. The ESG Strategy Committee's role in the system for managing these risks is primarily managing the planning, drafting and progress of measures to reduce CO₂ emissions. Categorization, evaluation and management of risks associated with climate change is reported within the ESG Strategy Committee at least once a year, and is also reported to the Board of Directors when necessary.
