The Board of Directors is the highest-level body responsible for environmental management in the TOPPAN Group. The Board appoints an officer to head the Ecology Center, an organization that oversees our environmental conservation initiatives by supervising, evaluating, and verifying environmental activities undertaken throughout the Group and reporting the verification results to the Board of Directors.

We have established an environmental conservation framework in which the heads of the business divisions, Group companies, and operational sites are responsible for the environmental efforts of their organizations. These heads appoint environmental management personnel to steer the actual implementation of conservation activities carried out at their sites and collaborate with them to propel environmental initiatives throughout the business divisions.

To accelerate the initiatives, environmental management personnel have set up Eco-protection Promotion Committees, bodies composed of persons relevant to the environment across the departments. The committees promote environmental conservation activities and manage their progress. For advanced environmental measures, the committees have convened multiple subcommittees to formulate necessary responses to specific environmental issues. Energy Subcommittees, for example, pursue energy-saving efforts to contribute to decarbonization.
