We will continue to think about what kind of company society needs and will promote initiatives to help make it a reality
Our group operates 17 companies in 8 countries around the world, providing value to society as a whole, primarily through the supply of automotive parts. We conduct our day-to-day business with a very large number of people around the world, including our employees and their families, our customers and suppliers, and our shareholders and local communities. We need to consider our relationship with these people and understand how we impact society and the natural environment, including from the perspective of future generations, so that we can take steps to mitigate the negative impacts and have a more positive impact.
In April 2023, we set “Passion in Creating Tomorrow” as our PURPOSE, and formulated our mid-to-long-term business plan, Beyond the OCEAN, and our mid-term business plan, NEXUS-26. One of our top priorities is to improve employee engagement, which we have set as a management goal in April 2024 as an indicator of enabling each employee to realize his or her full potential. We will create new value by being a company in which all employees can all fully demonstrate their abilities.
Our sustainability efforts have been steadily gaining recognition, as reflected in fiscal 2023 when we became a new constituent of the MSCI Japan ESG Select Leaders Index and were included in five of the six Japanese equity ESG indices used by the GPIF. However, we are still midst of integrating sustainability into our global operations and day-to-day business. Keeping our PURPOSE in mind at all times, we will continue to integrate sustainability into our management by considering what kind of company society needs and why this issue is important, so that we can all work together to address it.
