Initiatives for TCFD Recommendations

At the Canon Marketing Japan (hereafter, the "Canon MJ"), we endorsed the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)*1 and are working on related initiatives.

Governance

Policies related to climate change are discussed at the Sustainability Promotion Committee*2, which is chaired by the President, and determined at the Management Committee, and those policies are reflected in business strategies. The 2030 Medium-Term Environmental Targets, including climate change response, are managed by the Sustainability Promotion Committee and at its meetings held four times annually, the committee monitors the status of progress of the initiatives and provides directions.
