Centering on the CSR Promotion Committee and the Five
Specialized Sub-Committees

Establishing goals for the entire group, and monitoring achievement
together with the management team

Seven & i Holdings has created the CSR Promotion Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), with its five specialized sub-committees, whose membership includes the relevant directors, so as to realize our goal of stakeholder engagement. The CSR Promotion Committee and its specialized subcommittees are set up to manage, oversee, and guide the group companies in the fulfillment of their responsibilities to stakeholders while ensuring compliance with all laws, rules, and social norms, as called for in the Corporate Creed and the Corporate Action Guideline.
The specialized sub-committees bring together the persons responsible from each operating company and Seven & i Holdings, so as to exchange information and check/evaluate the efforts of each company. They also set clear and quantitative goals, check and evaluate their achievement as needed, and report their results to the CSR Promotion Committee. The content of these reports is discussed in the CSR Promotion Committee, and new policies and action plans are thereby established as management goals.

Evaluating the efforts of each company from two perspectives and
sharing the results with the entire group

Each specialized sub-committee evaluates the efforts of the operating companies from two perspectives. The first is the execution range of these efforts. For example, if there are significant efforts that may be applied at other companies, even if these efforts are currently being undertaken only at some companies the specialized subcommittees will offer guidance and support for expanding these efforts throughout the entire group.
Next, the efforts are evaluated from the standpoint of quality. The level of the effort is categorized and ranked according to where it falls in “Steps 1~3,” and measures required to take the effort to the next level are examined.
Continuous checking and evaluation in this way provides for the best efforts of each company to be shared across the entire group, improving the overall level of the efforts of the group.
