Sustainability Management System

Sumitomo Riko Group's corporate governance recognizes its responsibility to all stakeholders and aims to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value over the medium to long term through efficient and sound management based on the Sumitomo Spirit, which is based on “Shinyo-kakujitsu^*1” and “Fusu-furi^*2”.

*1: Place importance on integrity and sound management.
*2: Do not act rashly or carelessly in pursuit of easy gains.

As for the governance division, the Governance Committee is established as a voluntary advisory body to the Board of Directors. This committee deliberates and reports to the Board of Directors on issues of medium- to long-term importance, including the Group's corporate and group governance structure, with the perspectives of outside directors. Furthermore, the committee convenes to strengthen cooperation among the Representative Director, Outside Directors, and Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and to promote the Group's sustainable growth and enhance its social value (corporate value and public value).

In addition, to promote sustainability management, the executive division has established a “CSR and Sustainability Committee” chaired by the president, which meets twice a year.
The committee currently checks and follows up on the progress of activities under the themes of "Environment," "Safety and Health," "Diversity and Human Rights," "Social Contribution," and "Supply Chain," and also follows up on non-financial targets and monitoring items set under “2029 Sumitomo Riko Group Vision (2029V)”.
In recent years, there have been calls for the realization of a sustainable society, including a carbon-neutral (de-carbonized) society, as well as for responses to human rights issues. Therefore, as a member of society, the committee discusses to address these issues including how to proceed with our activities.

In order to ensure that each and every employee sees sustainability as his or her own personal matter and incorporates it into his or her work, the Group takes various opportunities to promote its permeation within the Company.
Since FY2023, we have been implementing various measures to instill our corporate philosophy, which is based on the "Sumitomo Spirit," in each and every employee in order to achieve the "2029 Sumitomo Riko Group Vision (2029V)”

In addition to explaining our philosophy framework—including 2029V—we have incorporated training into our tiered training program designed to help employees understand the connection between sustainability and themselves and encourage them to take action. In fiscal year 2025, a total of 3,142 employees participated in 51 sessions.

With the goal of helping each employee view sustainability as a personal concern and raising awareness, we have been conducting e-learning-based sustainability training since 2024. In fiscal year 2025, we conducted training for domestic Group employees focused on promoting understanding through basic knowledge of sustainability management and examples of initiatives relevant to their daily lives; a total of 4,710 employees participated.

The Sumitomo Riko Group introduced a video streaming service dedicated to sustainability in 2024 to raise awareness across the entire Group by encouraging each employee to view sustainability as something more relevant to their daily lives and to incorporate it into their daily actions.
In addition, in 2025, the Group produced and distributed explanatory videos to help more employees easily understand its long-term vision, "2029V.”
