The CSR Council, chaired by our Chairman & CEO and membered by all of the internal directors (including Audit and Supervisory Committee members), meets twice a year (in May and November) to discuss sustainability issues (environment, occupational health and safety, disaster prevention, quality, human capital, human rights, and social contribution, etc.) and plan actions to be taken by the Yokohama Rubber Group.
In addition, in the case that it is necessary to make decisions
on important matters or make early decisions, or make reports or conduct deliberations, an Executive Committee will make reports and conduct deliberations, and submit the details of such reports and deliberations to the Board of Directors according to their importance.
For individual sustainability issues, we have established bodies such as the Environment Council, the Central Safety and Health Committee, and the Central Meeting for Disaster Prevention to formulate and implement more detailed plans and measures.
Progress on sustainability issues is reported monthly to the Chairman & CEO, President & COO, members of the board in charge of CSR Division, and internal directors serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee members.
In addition, at biannual meetings where all Group executives, including those overseas, gather to discuss business strategies and other matters, initiatives on carbon neutrality and the circular economy are discussed as ongoing themes. For serious and urgent sustainability issues, we respond in cooperation with the “Risk Management Committee.”
In addition, with the aim of implementing high quality and homogeneous sustainability management at all of our bases around the world, we are promoting area management of internal controls, including the environment and compliance, under the control of the regional management company.
In fiscal year 2024, we completed the implementation of the “Global Whistleblowing System” in Indonesia.
