We will promote the expansion of our contribution to society and environment through medium to long term “social impact indicators.” In addition, we will promote business growth through “business activity indicators” set for each business and “sustainability transition sales,” which measure the business volume of growth areas that contribute to the sustainability of the Group.
Sustainability transition sales and focus area
In the GS2028, we will measure the sustainability transition sales amount in areas expected to grow and contribute to sustainability. We have set focus areas that contribute to sustainability transitions for each business segment and have already started activities. As we grow our business, we will increase the ratio of sustainability transition sales amount from the current 40% to 50% by fiscal year 2028.
