ZIGExN’s ESG Policy
The ZIGExN Group will contribute to the sustainable development of society by realizing its basic philosophy of “maximizing opportunities in life” through various corporate activities.
In June 2021, the 15th anniversary of our founding, we newly established “Purpose” for our Company’s existence: “Update Your Story for a Butter Future”. These words encompass the idea that you are the main star of your life, and that we hope you advance your life through the services of ZIGExN.
We will incorporate the idea of the purpose into not only businesses and services, but also sustainability activities.
In August 2021, we released the first integrated report of our group. In order to promote understanding from investors and other stakeholders, we disclosed our value creation process, the strength of our company, and our ESG/SDGs initiatives.
We will further update the content of our disclosures by referring to the value competition guidance provided by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), as well as global common frameworks such as TCFD and SASB standards.
We have set up a system to measure and observe CO2 emissions within the Group at fixed points.
In the future, we will set mid- to long-term CO2 emission reduction targets and implement measures to achieve them.
In addition, at the head office of ZIGExN, we will promote and encourage environmentally friendly activities such as abolishing the use of paper cups and encouraging the purchase of green products.
From the perspective of diversity, we have set the promotion of women’s activities and the increase in the ratio of women in management positions as part of our materiality, and we are promoting initiatives to achieve these goals.
In order to produce the next generation of management, we are also working to expand our training system and create opportunities for young people to be selected.
At the same time, we will work to create an environment where employees can play an active role while maintaining their physical, mental and social “well-being”, and realize their “Well-Do₋Being”.
Through the implementation of activities based on its management philosophy and code of conduct, the Company is committed to achieving sustainable growth and enhancing its corporate value over the medium to long term in order to realize its basic philosophy. To gain the confidence of its shareholders and other stakeholders, the Company strives to enhance its corporate value by establishing a corporate governance system that provides a high level of management transparency and a management oversight function, while at the same time making appropriate management decisions in a timely manner.
