Policy and Structure

The Canon Marketing Japan Group established the Sustainability Promotion Committee in February 2021 as a place for the consideration of measures to enhance corporate value by placing sustainability management at the core of management plans. The President & Representative Director serves as the Chair of the committee, and the Chair holds overall responsibility for matters related to sustainability.
Matters to be discussed and resolved by the Sustainability Promotion Committee are important topics that relate to the core aspects of management and are cross-organizational themes that span multiple other committees and divisions. Therefore, we determined that a system in which the committee operates under the direct supervision of the Board of Directors was necessary, and in April 2023, the committee, which had operated under the Management Committee, changed to be under the direct supervision of the Board of Directors. Important sustainability matters are deliberated by the Sustainability Promotion Committee and reported to the Board of Directors to receive opinions and advice, which are then reflected in subsequent initiatives.
