Approach to Sustainability Information Disclosure

Approach to Sustainability DisclosuresBack to Top

The annual Sustainability Report is a source of diverse information on the TOPPAN Group’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives as a channel for transparent, timely, appropriate, and accessible disclosures to TOPPAN stakeholders of every type, from customers and shareholders to investors and business partners. We would like the report to enhance engagement with stakeholders by deepening their understanding of our sustainability approaches and initiatives around the world.

Editorial StructureBack to Top

As the main corporate reports for sustainability information, the TOPPAN Group publishes five types of media: securities reports, notices of holding shareholder meetings, corporate governance reports, the Integrated Report, and the Sustainability Report. To prepare these reports, we established the Corporate Report Editorial Committee as a forum for collaboration among departments. The committee comprises management, representatives from each department in charge of reports, and members of key departments responsible for sustainability strategy. Furthermore, the content reported and discussed in this Editorial Committee is also shared with the Sustainability Promotion Committee and other relevant bodies.

Setting Key Common ThemesBack to Top

For reporting in fiscal 2024, the Corporate Report Editorial Committee comprehensively evaluated stakeholder requests and level of importance for enhancing future corporate value of the TOPPAN Group, and selected the following nine sustainability topics as “key common themes.”

1. Common Sustainability
2. Climate Change and Natural Capital
3. Human Asset Strategy (Human Capital and Diversity)
4. Intellectual Property and Technology Strategy
5. Human Rights
6. Supply Chain Management
7. Information Security
8. Corporate Governance
9. Risk Management　

In accordance with global standards for sustainability information disclosure, these topics are organized into four core contents: “Governance”, “Strategy”, “Risk Management”, and “Metrics & Targets,” and disclosed based on the characteristics of each type of media.

Through this approach, each type of media aims to communicate a consistent story from the perspective of its core content.
