The DG Group has established a governance structure that balances highly effective supervision with agile business execution for sustainability management. The Sustainability Committee, which serves as the core of business execution, is supervised by the President Executive Officer, chaired by the Head of the Corporate Division, and consists of business division heads and administrative division heads across the group who are appropriately selected for accelerating the group-wide initiatives. This committee promotes and monitors progress on sustainability policies and materiality initiatives, manages progress on materiality KPIs, and responds to climate change matters, while regularly presenting and reporting to the Management Committee and the Board of Directors (meeting at least twice per year). Based on reports from this committee, the Board of Directors oversees the Group’s overall sustainability activities, including policies, strategies, and the status of initiatives on materiality.

In addition, outside directors are involved as advisors based on their specialized knowledge, incorporating objective perspectives to enhance the effectiveness of governance. The Sustainability Management Office serves as the secretariat for this committee, promoting group-wide initiatives in cooperation with related departments. Furthermore, this committee and the Risk Management Committee mutually collaborate, establishing a system to incorporate the decisions deliberated by the Management Committee and Board of Directors in formulating management strategy, risk management, and risk assessment.
