As a home appliance/electronics retailer, the Company understands that responding to climate change is also one of our key management issues. In 2021, we expressed support for the final status report of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

The TCFD recommendations require disclosure of four items: governance, risk management, strategies, and metrics and targets. The Company will proactively disclose the four recommended items in line with the TCFD recommendations. We will also pursue sustainable growth and create medium- to long-term corporate value through engagement with stakeholders, while working to address climate change and contribute to the realization of sustainable society.

TCFD refers to Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, which was established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) at the request of the G20, for the purpose of considering how climate-related information should be disclosed and the responses of financial institutions thereto. In the final status report published in June 2017, TCFD recommends that corporations, etc. disclose climate-related information that has financial impact on their companies.
