Basic approach
The Futaba Group is working to accelerate and expand its sustainability activities with the two most important themes of investment in people, or bolstering human capital, and coexistence with nature, or response to natural capital in order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
Promotion system
Under the supervision of the Sustainability Promotion Committee (members of the Board of Directors), which convenes four times annually, the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) heads up promotional activities at the operational level. The Human Resources Strategy Committee*1 and the Carbon Neutrality Project Committee*2 discuss and deliberate the direction, objectives, and initiatives of the Futaba Group's sustainability efforts.
- *1. Human Resources Strategy Committee: A forum for discussing the human resources management reform and personnel system reforms aimed at enabling all employees to play an active role, including investment in people (bolstering human capital).
- *2. Carbon Neutrality Project Committee: A forum for discussing issues such as coexistence with nature (response to natural capital), carbon neutrality, biodiversity, and the circular economy.
Priority Issues(Materiality)
The Priority Issues (Materiality) are for the Futaba Group to achieve the Strategic SDGs (6 out of 17 goals within the SDGs framework) that have the highest priority from both stakeholders' and our business perspectives. To integrate these issues with Business Strategy, we categorized them into three themes: (1) Sustainable Growth, (2) Sustainable Production, and (3) Sustainable Management Foundation.
Integrating the SDGs into Management
SDGs Project Management Offices and Responsible Dept. are integrating the SDGs into their business activities while also incorporating them into the medium-term management plan and corporate global policy.
We will continue to promote activities by implementing the PDCA cycle, as well as regular checks and follow-ups to achieve our goals.
Value Creation Process
The business environment enveloping the Futaba Group is changing dramatically, including the shift to BEVs for automobiles, the decline in the working population, and climate change. The Futaba Group has long recognized the external environment and social issues that need to be addressed, and has been engaged in its businesses to meet the needs of society. Our beliefs, values, and pride have been handed down over generations since our foundation as the FUTABA WAY.
Based on our management system of Purpose, Mission, and Values redefined in 2024, we will aim to improve our corporate value by addressing long-term management issues through business activities for stable growth globally and delivering values in the areas of clean & green, peace of mind, and quality of life, which are the Mission of the Futaba Group.
