Realization of carbon free society

In environment-related initiatives in Nissan Shatai group, based on recommendations by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we intend to build governance and risk management that address climate change and review risks and opportunities as well as responses in accordance with the climate change scenario. We plan to advance responses recognized risks and opportunities and promote initiatives to realize a “sustainable corporate foundation.”

Governance

We formed an Environment Committee and are promoting organizational activities to reduce the environmental burden by formulating environment-related policies, targets, and goals, confirming progress with the environmental management plans of each department, and discussing revisions to the environment management system. The Director & Senior Vice President, who is responsible for the overall supervision of environment-related activities, chairs the Environment Committee and periodically reports content from the Environment Committee at the Executive Committee chaired by the Director & President. The Director & Senior Vice President reports discussions and decision items from the Environment Committee at the Board of Directors.

Environmental audits

In order to confirm whether or not the system is being operated appropriately, we regularly implement internal environmental audits, which adopt an auditor system comprised of in-house certified auditors, and external environmental examinations conducted by third-party organizations.

Internal environmental audits

In the internal environmental audits, in-house auditors who have received auditor education check the operating status and effectiveness of the environmental management systems, and confirm whether the environmental management systems are being operated properly in each division.
