Sustainability Promotion Structure

SBI Holdings has established the “Sustainability Committee” under the Board of Directors, composed of its Executive Directors and chaired by the Representative Director, President & CEO, and formulated the “Basic Sustainability Principles” as of December 21, 2021. In principle, the Committee meets at least twice a year. As part of the SBI Group's corporate strategy, the Committee not only discusses and decides upon strategic initiatives related to sustainability based on the “Basic Sustainability Principles,” but also verifies and examines the progress of these initiatives. The Committee also reports on their findings to the Board of Directors promptly and appropriately on as needed basis but no less than twice a year. The Board of Directors, upon receiving the reports, exchanges opinions regarding its contents and provides appropriate instructions, suggestions, and advice to oversee the efforts towards sustainability. In addition, the sustainability measures determined through discussions at the Committee are implemented and promoted throughout the entire SBI Group with the cooperation of each Group company, through the “Sustainability Promotion Office” that serves as the secretariat of the Committee.
In this way, the Company has established a structure to appropriately manage its efforts to solve social issues and ensure further effectiveness of the initiatives.
The Sustainability Promotion Office, which serves as the secretariat of the Sustainability Committee, is responsible for gathering both internal and external information to identify and discuss challenges and issues facing the Group.
