※Promotion framework for sustainability 　　

Chairperson: President and CEO of the SCB 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Members: President and CEO of the SCB, Director in charge of Sustainability Promotion Division, and group company presidents

Executive office: Sustainability Promotion Division

Policies regarding sustainability, including climate change and natural capital, are discussed at the Executive Committee and then resolved at the Board of Directors.

The progress of initiatives based on the policies of the Board of Directors is discussed at the Executive Committee and reported to the Board of Directors at least once a year.

We regularly submit climate change risks for discussion at committees such as the Risk Management Committee, a subordinate body of the Executive Committee, and other committees.

In addition, from the standpoint of integrated management as one banking group, we hold the “Group Sustainability Promotion Committee“ meetings twice a year, a committee comprised of President and CEO as well as the Director in charge of Sustainability Promotion Division of the SCB and group company presidents to discuss such matters as the SCB Group’s policies and initiatives regarding sustainability.

Initiatives for sustainability, including climate change and natural capital, are being taken cross-organizationally, with the Sustainability Promotion Division playing a central role.

We invited experts in natural capital to lead a study session for directors and other officers on initiatives related to natural capital and biodiversity in local community financing services.
