Sustainability policy, materiality, and promotion structure

In order to more clearly demonstrate its stance toward realizing a sustainable society to internal and external stakeholders, Nankai Group has established a Sustainability Policy and, on April 30, 2021, announced seven major sustainability themes (materiality) incorporating the perspective of the SDGs as key measures to be addressed over the long term under the policy.

We have also established the Sustainability Promotion Committee as an organization to promote sustainability measures across the entire group, and the Sustainability Promotion Department as its secretariat. Starting in fiscal 2021, this committee will play a central role in setting goals, monitoring progress, and evaluating achievement levels (PDCA cycle) in collaboration with business divisions.

We aim to achieve both "sustainable improvement of corporate value" and "realization of a sustainable society" by co-creating and collaborating with various stakeholders, including local residents, local governments, and companies, mainly in areas areas along our railway lines putting our corporate philosophy into practice.
