P.27 Addressing Climate Change

27 Addressing Climate Change Basic Policy and Promotion System We contribute to reducing environmental impact and realizing a sustainable society through business activities utilizing digital technology. We reduce paper usage and CO₂ emissions from travel by promoting the digitization of stock administration, supporting virtual shareholder meetings and online financial results briefings, and digitizing investor materials such as integrated reports and shareholder newsletters. We also support client companies' climate change responses and the advancement of sustainability management through sustainability disclosure support in the IR and SR fields. We appropriately monitor and manage risks and opportunities related to climate change under our corporate governance system. We will achieve both the creation of environmental value through our business and the enhancement of corporate value. Indicators and Targets We position the environmental impact reduction effect through our business as a key indicator. We are currently developing indicators and targets to visualize the environmental impact reduction effect of our business activities, such as the digitization of stock administration and online operations, and the digitization of investor materials. We will set indicators to appropriately grasp and evaluate the environmental impact reduction effect. We will formulate medium- to long-term targets and strive for highly transparent information disclosure regarding our response to climate change.
