Sustainability Promotion System
Our group is promoting responses to sustainability issues, primarily through the Sustainability Committee, an advisory body to the Board of Directors. The Sustainability Committee meets twice a year to deliberate and monitor policies, action plans, and the progress of measures based on materiality. Matters to which the Board of Directors has delegated authority are deliberated and decided by this committee, and important matters are reported and recommended to the Board of Directors, with particularly important matters being submitted to the Board of Directors for deliberation. Furthermore, the status of the implementation of sustainability measures is disclosed through the ROHTO Well-being Report (Rohto Pharmaceutical Integrated Report), etc. In practical terms, in March 2024, we established Sustainable Management Promotion Office as a dedicated department to promote ESG-related initiatives, and are promoting various measures in cooperation with relevant departments. In addition, in March 2026, in order to further strengthen our response to environmental issues, we established the Environmental Management Promotion Committee under the Sustainability Committee. This committee is promoting responses to environmental issues such as climate change, resource circulation, and natural capital in cooperation with relevant departments in Japan and overseas and global locations. The committee is chaired by Chief Scientific Officer (CScO), who leverages scientific knowledge and an understanding of the business to strengthen environmental management across the entire group.
