ZIGExN’s ESG Policy
The ZIGExN Group actualizes its fundamental principle of “maximizing life opportunities” through various corporate activities, with the aim of contributing to society’s sustainable development.
In commemoration of our 15th anniversary, we established a new corporate purpose: “Update Your Story.” The phrase “Update Your Story ~ To your future,” embodies our wish for people to own and improve their lives through our services. We integrate this purpose not only into our business and services but also into our sustainability initiatives. In August 2021, we published our first-ever integrated report. In October 2024, we launched a new ESG data book. This book aims to help stakeholders, including investors, better understand our value creation process and our strengths and disclose our efforts related to ESG and SDG.
Looking ahead, we will continue to update our disclosures by referencing various global frameworks, such as the Value Co-creation Guidance provided by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the sustainability disclosure standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2) and SASB standards published by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
The Sustainability Committee
With the objective of understanding the impact of future climate change on our business activities and establishing a system for managing risks, we have established “the Sustainability Committee” on January 1st, 2024. The Sustainability Committee and The Risk and Compliance Committee serve as a subcommittee under the Board of Directors. Chaired by the Representative Director, Operating Officer, and CEO, both committees conduct company-wide risk management and countermeasures.
The Risk and Compliance Committee is responsible for overall risk management and the reports of the status to the Board of Directors. Regarding climate change risks, the Sustainability Committee monitors the situation, provides guidance and instructions to the departments responsible for specific risks, and reports to the Board of Directors in collaboration with the Risk and Compliance Committee.
