Promotion of ESG Management Aimed at Achieving a Sustainable Society

We established the “ESG Management Statement” in 2021 and are moving forward with initiatives to achieve a sustainable society through ESG management. Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) elements are an important pillar supporting both society and the company, and we have been implementing initiatives based on these principles. Further, this year, we added the element of business (B) to our existing material issues to address ESG issues in an integrated manner through our business activities, and newly identified material issues in the B+ESG areas. With the newly identified material issues, we will connect business to ESG elements to strengthen and further promote them.

Further, people's awareness of sustainability issues has been increasing with the changes of the times. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in the number of social issues that need to be addressed, such as climate change, resource depletion, social inequality, and human rights issues. The responsibilities that we have as a company are becoming increasingly important.

In addition, the expectations and needs of our stakeholders, including our customers, have become more diverse. We must cater to them by elevating our standards. In our automotive business, lighter weight speakers are in demand due to the progress in the shift to electric vehicles (EVs). It is also necessary to implement initiatives to reduce environmental impact and achieve carbon neutrality. We are now working on making our Automotive Audio Speakers more compact and lightweight, while also developing environmentally friendly next-generation speaker products. Further, our efforts also include using recycled materials and improving the energy efficiency of the manufacturing process. We will develop and provide products that meet these requirements, leveraging our acoustic technologies, material development capabilities, and manufacturing expertise.

Keeping the promotion of ESG management at the core of our management policies, we will continue our efforts to foster a sound corporate culture, further promote workstyle reform, and ensure thorough quality and risk control. We will also implement initiatives to solve social issues, such as the reduction of CO₂ emissions, improvement of energy efficiency, and respect for human rights in our supply chain. We will continue to contribute to sustainability by fulfilling the expectations of our stakeholders and society as a whole.
