The azbil Group’s Sustainability Policy
The azbil Group’s core automation business can improve the quality of indoor spaces and productivity in buildings, factories, and lifeline utilities, while at the same time curbing resource and energy consumption appropriately. The expansion of our business will help reduce environmental impact on the Earth. The azbil Group will continue its efforts to contribute to global environmental preservation and “in series,” to a sustainable society in accordance with the following sustainability policy.
The azbil Group’s Sustainability Policy
The azbil Group is committed to continuously enhancing enterprise value based on mutual trust with stakeholders, to realizing “safety, comfort, and fulfillment in people’s lives” and contributing to global environmental preservation, and to contributing “in series” to a sustainable society. These are achieved through practicing the azbil Group’s philosophy of “human-centered automation” and respecting the values to contribute to society for people’s well-being based on the founding spirit of “freeing people from drudgery.”
System to advance sustainability management
The azbil Group has a system in place to consider and pursue sustainability-related initiatives throughout the Group.
The azbil Group CSR Promotion Committee and the SDGs Promotion Committee, each supported by a committee office with specialized staff, come under the purview of the corporate executive in charge of all aspects of sustainability. Progress and issues identified at committee meetings are reported to the Board of Directors and Management Meeting.
In opportunity management, status and issues are shared by the management at company-wide business review meetings; these discussions, which look to the steady implementation of plans, play a role in strategic business development.
In risk management, in addition to the azbil Group CSR Management Meeting, the azbil Group General Risk Committee is responsible for checking on the status of all risk management activities and making policy decisions.
Note: The azbil Group CSR Promotion Committee and SDGs Promotion Committee are concerned with the azbil Group as a whole. See also the azbil ESG Databook for the details of the agenda and the frequency of each committee’s meetings
