Putting our corporate philosophy (THE ESPEC MIND) and ESPEC VISION into practice

Our corporate philosophy, THE ESPEC MIND, encompasses two important concepts. The first is that “the corporation is a public institution.” We want to be a company that contributes to society through our business and corporate activities. The second is that ESPEC “aims to improve value exchange with stakeholders.” This means that we want to construct relationships with all stakeholders that better benefit both sides. Our sustainability management represents putting THE ESPEC MIND into practice, and is our program aimed at achieving the EPSEC VISION 2035. By putting our corporate philosophy into practice and through business activities aimed at achieving our long-term vision, we are working to create and improve both economic value and social value, and to achieve continual growth.

ESPEC’s system to promote sustainability management

We put the Sustainability Management Headquarters in place to strengthen our efforts to promote sustainability and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. In 2022, one of the Directors was appointed Chief Officer of Sustainability Management Headquarters. The Sustainability Management Headquarters plays a central role in formulating and reviewing the sustainability policy and materiality (key issues), reflecting them in the Medium-Term Management and Environmental Plans, and overseeing sustainability disclosures. Progress and issues related to sustainability initiatives are reported to the Board of Directors or the Executive Officers' Meeting. The Board of Directors receives these reports, deliberates on sustainability initiatives, and oversees their implementation, and Company-Wide Environmental Management Committee to promote companywide sustainability management.
Additionally, the Sustainability Management Headquarters works with the Information Disclosure Committee, Internal Control System Committee, Risk Management Committee, Information Security Committee, and Company-Wide Environmental Management Committee to promote companywide sustainability management.
