Major environmental issues are reviewed and considered by the ESG Committee under the Board of Directors, as documented in the committee's regulations. Each year, the CEO reports to the ESG Committee on environmental performance, plans for the following year, management policies, the composition and roles of management organizations, budget, and facility status. Approved agendas are then confirmed at the Board's main meeting. The environmental performance indicators are reflected in the KPIs of the CEO and responsible management and are considered in their evaluations and compensation.
