In 2018, Daiwa Securities Group has established the Sustainability Promotion Committee (formerly SDGs Promotion Committee) chaired by the President and CEO to discuss our policies on sustainability promotion.
The initiatives of sustainability are discussed in the Committee. The contents of discussions are reported to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management Committee when appropriate. Also, important policies on sustainability are reviewed and approved by the Board. We continue to enhance the Board’s supervisory function with regard to the progress on sustainability issues.
We always invite external experts to the Sustainability Promotion Committee (formerly SDGs Promotion Committee), which enables us to utilize their expertise and insights in its discussions.
Based on discussions made by the Committee, we are working to roll out sustainability promotion initiatives to the entire Group through the Corporate Planning Department’s Sustainability Promotion Office, as well as strengthening collaboration and raising awareness of sustainability within the Group.
