The T&D Life Group has established the Group CSR Committee, whose main members are the directors in charge of CSR at each Group company. Under this committee, we are pushing ahead with CSR activities.
Group CSR Committee
The Group CSR Committee has been established under the Board of Directors to serve as the cornerstone for promoting the Group's CSR activities. The committee formulates basic policies for the Group's CSR activities and selects important priority areas, along with drawing up annual plans and regularly confirming the implementation status of those plans. The committee is chaired by the President of T&D Holdings (Representative Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors), and vice-chaired by the executive officer in charge of the Group Planning Department. In fiscal 2015, meetings of the committee were held five times. Issues discussed/considered and information shared have been reported to the Board of Directors.
The department in charge of CSR of T&D Holdings and each Group company comprises the Group CSR Committee Secretariat. The Secretariat promotes CSR activities by sharing information on the CSR activities of each Group company, in conjunction with assisting with the management and activities of the Group CSR Committee.
