Material Issue 2:Co-exist in Harmony with the Environment through Innovative Technologies







Basic Approach and Policy
We believe that we need to engage in initiatives from a long-term perspective to achieve sustainable growth. Based on this belief, we have formulated the TSV2050/2030 Sustainability Vision, which is the core component of the Group’s sustainability strategies, and have shared within the Group the directions of initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, which was declared in the SIC-II medium-term management plan. While working to solve the climate change issue, a global social issue, we will strive to develop and expand the number of environmentally friendly products (Sustainability-Enhancing Products) that will reduce environmental impact.

Promotion System
We have renamed and reorganized the CSR Generalization Committee into the Sustainability Committee. The ESG Promotion Committee established under the Sustainability Committee addresses climate change issues and discloses information based on the TCFD recommendations.
In addition, the Production-Logistics Division of Toyo Ink SC Holdings Co., Ltd. oversees the safety, environment, quality assurance, supply chain management, chemical management, and trade management of the overall Group as the dedicated organization, and core operating companies play the leading role in promoting environmental management of Group companies in Japan and overseas.
