Under the slogan “Join Together to Shape the Future” the Toyal Group is working together to create new value and companies that can contribute to society. The environment surrounding companies is changing dramatically, and we believe that we have an increasing responsibility to take proactive efforts to solve various social issues.
Last year, in order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, we identified social issues as management issues of the Toyal Group and established a Sustainability Committee to promote measures more quickly. We hope that this will spur on efforts toward decarbonization and activities aimed at solving other social issues.
Efforts to achieve the SDGs are now in their seventh year, and there has been considerable penetration within the company. The global situation and surrounding social environment have changed since our material issues were first established, so we have begun reviewing them once more. As the SDGs are becoming ever more prevalent in society, we have launched a new initiative called the “Three New Activities” under the theme of new products, new technologies, and new markets, in order to create companies that can contribute to society by creating new value. The Toyal Group’s comprehensive capabilities are being used to create value that contributes to solving social issues, such as through environmentally friendly products.
In the future, we will actively work on biodiversity and human rights, transforming our company and society through sustainability management as we aim to become a globally acclaimed company employees feel proud of.

Sustainability Promotion System

To contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, the Toyal Group established a Sustainability Committee in October 2022 in order to recognize social issues as management issues of the Toyal Group and promote measures more quickly.
The President and Representative Director serves as chairperson of the committee, and the matters discussed are submitted to the Board of Directors for resolution or report as necessary.
As a topic of discussion, we discussed our efforts toward decarbonization and shared our direction and challenges. Moving forward, we will deepen discussions and consider how the Toyal Group will work toward a decarbonized society. We will also establish subcommittees to create a system that allows for more specific discussions.
We will discuss other social issues as appropriate, determine the direction, and put them into management issues.
Regarding the review of materiality, since the world situation and the environment surrounding our company have changed since it was established in 2017, we are proceeding with the work of resetting materiality. We will set KPIs for materiality, incorporate them into our medium-term management plan, aim to achieve our goals, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
A sustainability promotion working group centered on young employees from across divisions was formed in the Toyal Group to promote sustainability and produce sustainability reports. Through these activities, we will spread the idea of sustainability within the Toyal Group and revitalize sustainability activities within the group.

New Members of the Sustainability Promotion Working Group

  • Participating in the working group for the first time, I gained a deeper understanding of sustainability and was reminded of the importance of environmental activities. It would be great if something like an Environmental Harmonization Committee could disseminate information and encourage people to change their attitudes.

  • It was a good opportunity to learn about the sustainability activities of each division and the products we are involved in that can contribute to environmental conservation.

  • Even in my personal life, I have become more mindful of the importance of takeing care of things close to me, such as minimizing the amount of garbage I create, turning off all the excess little bits of electricity I’m not using, and using dedicated shopping bags. I would like to continue down this path.

Efforts for Human Rights

As a Group that values people, the Toyal Group respects the human rights of all our stakeholders, including our business partners and employees. We are striving to eliminate actions that would violate human rights, gaps in employment/occupation, and harassment in workplaces. We will also work to understand the risks associated with human rights in our supply chains and fulfill our corporate responsibilities. We will formulate a human rights policy and initiate human rights due diligence throughout fiscal 2023.
