Comprehensive Sustainability Commitment
Comprehensive Sustainability Commitment
1) Our Approach to Sustainability
Our Group is committed to becoming a trusted corporate entity for all stakeholders--including customers, shareholders, business partners, local communities, and employees--by balancing business growth with contributions to a sustainable environment and society. We believe that sustainable management is essential not only for continuous expansion and development, but also for enhancing long-term corporate value.
To achieve this, we are actively strengthening our governance framework, identifying material issues, and setting relevant indicators and targets to integrate sustainability into our business operations. we recognize our responsibility to minimize the environmental impact across the entire semiconductor supply chain and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
We have established a CSR Policy and promote business activities aligned with the RBA Code of Conduct to fulfill this responsibility.
2) Sustainability Governance Structure
To promote sustainability across our Group, we have established the ESG Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director. The committee includes executive officers from each Group company and representatives from the internal audit division and convenes quarterly.
The ESG Committee serves as a platform for sharing information and discussing key issues and initiatives related to sustainability, including climate change. Matters of significance are reported to the Board of Directors, which oversees sustainability-related efforts and makes comprehensive decisions.
3) Risk Management
To assess the significance of risks and opportunities related to sustainability--including climate change--our Group has established the Crisis Management Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director.This committee, which includes key executives, meets quarterly and is also convened on an ad hoc basis in response to critical incidents affecting business operations, enabling swift and effective action.
The committee regularly reviews sustainability-related risks and opportunities, considering their potential impact on our business and society.
Important matters are reported to the Board of Directors, which oversees sustainability initiatives and incorporates them into strategic decision-making and progress monitoring.
4) Strategy
To achieve sustainable growth while contributing to the environment and society, our Group has identified key material issues across the areas of Environment, Social, and Governance. These material topics serve as strategic priorities, guiding our efforts to address challenges and create long-term value.
In identifying these material issues, we conducted a comprehensive assessment based on international ESG disclosure standards such as the SASB Standards, evaluation criteria from ESG rating agencies, and relevant social issues surrounding our Group.
We then evaluated the extracted sustainability-related management issues using a materiality matrix, considering both their financial impact on our Group and their importance to stakeholders. Items with the highest significance were designated as our Group's material issues, forming the foundation of our sustainability strategy.
