The Company has established the Tokyu Group Sustainability Promotion Committee (held biannually in principle) under the Sustainability Promotion Committee (chaired by the President), which sets targets for each company and division in line with the Tokyu Group Philosophy and manages progress from a medium- to long-term perspective. Key issues are reported to the Board of Directors, and environmental initiatives are systematically promoted including the input of consolidated subsidiaries.
To promote environmental management throughout Tokyu Group, based on Group Philosophy, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have established their own Environmental Policy and are planning and implementing initiatives.
In order to ensure that our environmental management system is being properly implemented, in addition to the internal audits conducted by the environmental department, the internal audit department also conducts regular internal audits in accordance with the establishment and revision of laws and regulations. In addition, we also conduct a self-check of environmental laws and regulations (for consolidated subsidiaries) once a year.
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are actively working to establish an environmental management system, and four companies (four sites) have obtained ISO 14001 certification. Some consolidated subsidiaries have obtained certifications such as "Eco Action 21" and "Green Management Certification," which the Ministry of the Environment is promoting as an easier-to-implement environmental management system.
In addition, to maintain certification, we have a system in place in which environmental officers from our company and from consolidated companies with experience in obtaining certification support internal audits, etc.
Furthermore, we conduct surveys on the environmental burden of each consolidated company to quantitatively grasp the impact of business activities. In addition, we hold information exchange meetings within Tokyu Group and also hold seminars by experts with the aim of sharing information useful for promoting environmental management and raising the level of our environmental activities.
