Sustainability Management
Sustainability Promotion Structure
The CTC Group advances sustainability initiatives primarily through its Sustainability Committee, an advisory council to the Management Committee. The committee is composed of members selected from among specified business groups and consolidated subsidiaries. Meetings of the Sustainability Committee are held at least twice a year and tasked with reviews of current initiatives and deliberations on future initiatives.
CTC Group Stakeholders
We will continue to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society by valuing dialogues with our stakeholders, maintaining good relationships and working to develop and improve our relationships with them. We believe that the global environment that surrounds us is also a very important stakeholder in our business. We will also continue to work proactively to implement the things that we are able to do at this present time with regard to global-scale issues such as global warming, the depletion of natural resources and the destruction of ecosystems.
