To accelerate efforts focused on sustainability issues, the TOPPAN Group has established a Sustainability Promotion Committee chaired by the president & representative director of TOPPAN Holdings Inc. With six directors and Management Committee officers present, it is positioned as part of the corporate governance structure and responsible for advancing sustainability across the Group.

1) Board of Directors and Sustainability Promotion Committee
The Board of Directors of TOPPAN Holdings delegates the consideration and deliberation of sustainability-related issues for the TOPPAN Group to the Sustainability Promotion Committee. The specific activities and measures discussed at the Sustainability Promotion Committee are reported to the Board of Directors by the Management Committee, and the Board of Directors is responsible for overall decision-making on sustainability management. The Board of Directors continuously discusses, monitors, and supervises sustainability-related activities, target setting, and progress.

2) TOPPAN Group ESG Management Promotion Committee
The TOPPAN Group ESG Management Promotion Committee is a body positioned within the Sustainability Promotion Committee. Its members are presidents and directors of TOPPAN Group operating companies, who expand upon discussions on ESG and SDG-related themes within the Group, share issues to address, and coordinate to drive solutions.

3) SDGs Promotion Project and Corporate ESG Project
Under the Sustainability Promotion Committee, we have established the SDGs Promotion Project and the Corporate ESG Project, which are cross-divisional bodies. These project teams address various individual themes while coordinating with each other.

The SDGs Promotion Project primarily focuses on advancing sustainability initiatives in our business activities. It drives and monitors the progress of efforts for the themes of “Environment,” “Communities,” and “People,” the three areas of focus set out under Business Materiality in TOPPAN Business Action for SDGs.

The Corporate ESG Project is mainly responsible for sustainability issues that relate to the entire TOPPAN Group. In fiscal 2023, we formed the Human Capital Working Group, Supply Chain Management (SCM) Working Group, and Global Environment Working Group, which undertake projects on specific themes.

4) Executive Sustainability Promotion Committee
We have also established the Executive Sustainability Promotion Committee as a forum for discussing future sustainability issues. Directors and outside experts exchange opinions and coordinate with the Sustainability Promotion Committee to deliberate important matters.

5) Corporate Report Editorial Committee
To communicate the TOPPAN Group’s approach and initiatives for value creation and sustainability to stakeholders, we have established the Corporate Report Editorial Committee. The committee plans and edits content for reports (securities reports, Integrated Report, Sustainability Report, etc.), facilitates dialogue with stakeholders based on disclosures, and shares feedback internally to drive a cycle of sustainability promotion and disclosure.
