Sustainability Management

Sustainability Management System

In March 2022, DNP reorganized the Sustainability Committee headed by the president in order to enhance environmental, social and economic sustainability and further drive DNP?s sustainable growth and enhanced functionality. By coordinating with the BCM Promotion Committee, which ensures the safety of employees and maintains production activities in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency, and the Corporate Ethics Committee, which aims to raise employees? compliance awareness and reduce risks, the Sustainability Committee has established a flexible and robust governance system that covers company-wide risks.
The Sustainability Committee meets regularly, four times a year, and at other times as necessary for the purposes of managing medium to long-term management risks relating to sustainability, identifying business opportunities and reflecting them in management strategies; and delivers reports and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors receives reports and recommendations on matters discussed and resolved by the Sustainability Committee, and deliberates and supervises policies and action plans, etc., for responding to risks and opportunities relating to sustainability.

Risk Management to Support Sustainable Growth

DNP has seven principal themes to be addressed as part of risk management to support sustainable growth. In addition to identifying themes that we deem important and a priority based primarily on our management strategy and business fields, we also include themes that the international community views as critical, starting with the United Nations Global Compact* Ten Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and comprehensively analyze them.


*DNP announced its support for the United Nations Global Compact in July 2006.

*DNP agrees with the initiatives of the United Nations Global Compact¡¯s local network in Japan (Global Compact Network Japan) and participates in subcommittees that are based on such themes as human rights, the environment, and procurement.
