System for Expanding and Promoting ESG Management

Development of ESG Management

We have incorporated identified materials into our management, linking our contributions to society with our sustainable development. Based on the "Connect" between the Sanken Group and society, we are developing ESG-based management based on the concepts of "links with nature," "links with society," and "links with trust."

Sustainability Promotion Structure

Sanken Electric Group recognizes sustainability as one of its key management priorities and has established a governance framework led by the President & CEO as the highest responsible executive to ensure effective promotion and oversight of sustainability initiatives.
To drive ESG management across the organization, the Company has established a Sustainability Committee, under which dedicated subcommittees for Environment (E), Social (S), and Governance (G), as well as theme-specific project teams, are organized. Chaired by ESG Executive Officer Katsumi Kawashima, the Sustainability Committee reviews reports from these subcommittees and teams and deliberates on and determines sustainability policies, strategies, material issues (materiality), and responses to sustainability-related risks and opportunities. The Committee also regularly monitors progress on these initiatives.
As a general rule, matters deliberated by the Sustainability Committee are submitted and reported to the Board of Directors through the Management Council, the Company's highest decision-making body for business execution, at least twice a year. Based on these reports, the Board of Directors oversees the integration of sustainability initiatives into the Company's medium- to long-term management strategy.
