Teijin Group's Sustainability Promotion
Our Sustainability Approach and Initiatives
Teijin Group, under its purpose "Pioneering solutions together for a healthy planet," has established its Sustainability Policy: "We give back value to the global environment and society, contributing to the realization of a sustainable healthy planet." Based on this policy, the Group strives to achieve a "Healthy Planet," where our planet and all life on it stay healthy, while simultaneously enhancing the sustainability of both society and Teijin. Under the Sustainability Policy, the Group assesses opportunities and risks related to sustainability issues, including social and environmental challenges, and identifies its key issues (materiality). Furthermore, KPIs have been established for each key issue, and initiatives are being promoted through business activities.
＜Sustainability Policy＞
We give back value to the global environment and society, contributing to the realization of a sustainable healthy planet.
Governance System
We have appointed a Chief Sustainability Officer (CSuO) as the person responsible for sustainability-related activities. Under the instruction and supervision of the Board of Directors, this officer promotes sustainability initiatives that are integrated with our business operations. Policies and key issues related to sustainability are matters to be resolved by the Board of Directors. In line with these policies, the executive side sets management indicators and implements initiatives, while progress and responses are reported as needed to the Board of Directors by the CEO or this officer for discussion. Furthermore, to ensure prompt and appropriate responses to sustainability issues, the Sustainability Committee, under the leadership of the CEO, deliberates on and promotes sustainability-related policies and initiatives.
Sustainability Committee
The roles of the Sustainability Committee are as follows:
- A platform for management to discuss themes that contribute to further improving corporate value, such as sustainability, with outside experts and obtain insights for execution of business
- A platform for management to discuss key sustainability-related matters
| Chairperson | CEO |
| Members | Executive Officers and other individuals designated by the CEO* |
- *Executive Officers: Corporate Officers of the Teijin Group who serve as core members essential for deliberating on the overall business strategies of the Teijin Group.
Individuals designated by the CEO: Internal and external experts (in principle, guest speakers are invited to each meeting), and business executive officers and others as required (invited as temporary members).
In FY2025, the committee reassessed the Teijin Group's approach to sustainability management and facilitated discussions on reflecting this in our sustainability policy and value creation.
Internal Engagement Activities
As part of our sustainability efforts, we have implemented various initiatives aimed at enhancing internal understanding and embedding sustainability-related behaviors throughout the organization.
Information Dissemination on the Internal Communication Platform
In addition to conducting lectures on sustainability for new employees and managers in level-based workshops, we are promoting internal awareness by regularly distributing sustainability-related content on Teijin HUB, a communication platform available to all Teijin Group employees.
Sponsorship of the Envision Racing Formula E Team
With its mission to "Race Against Climate Change," Envision Racing was the first team to receive carbon-neutral certification and promote the adoption of EVs and renewable energy. Since we share the team's vision and engage in similar activities, in 2020, we began our sponsorship with the aim of communicating the Teijin Group's corporate stance on climate change mitigation and adaptation to a wide range of global stakeholders. This partnership also seeks to increase awareness within the automotive industry of our own technologies and products that contribute to reducing environmental impact. In May 2025, we co-hosted the environmental awareness event "Race Against Climate Change Tokyo" with the Envision Racing Formula E Team. At that event, we discussed our vision for a circular economy, as well as the opportunities and challenges involved in achieving it. The event was attended by approximately 200 people, primarily customers, but also including media representatives and employees.
Code of Conduct Video
Teijin will always be evolving as each and every employee is aware of the "Code of Conduct". We release the videos with subtitles in local languages of all regions and countries in which the Teijin Group operates to provide employees around the world with an opportunity to increase their interest in the Code of Conduct and deepen their understanding of it.
Pamphlet "Together" to Raise Awareness of Diversity
We promote diversity, equity and inclusion as a management strategy. We have also issued a pamphlet entitled "together" to raise awareness of diversity every year since 2002.
Communication with Stakeholders
Based on its fundamental approach to corporate governance, the Teijin Group fulfills its responsibilities to shareholders while also placing importance on its responsibilities to stakeholders such as employees, customers, and local communities. In accordance with the Code of Conduct, we strive to communicate through sincere dialogue, taking into account the opinions and expectations of various stakeholders.
