Commitment to Sustainability
Based on The IDEC Way, the IDEC Group has established the IDEC GROUP Code of Conduct, the CSR Charter, and the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact as key guiding principles. Through the resolution of societal issues via its business activities, the Group is committed to contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainability initiatives are promoted under the leadership of the CSR Committee, which was established in 2018 and renamed the Sustainability Committee in 2024.
Guided by the Basic Sustainability Policy, the IDEC Group will continue to address global challenges through its business activities with the aim of realizing a sustainable society. These efforts include promoting the safety, health, and well-being of all people both within and beyond the organization through endorsement of and participation in the Vision Zero campaign led by the International Social Security Association (ISSA) under the International Labour Organization (ILO), giving due consideration to global environmental issues such as climate change, and proactively preparing for future risks and opportunities.
Basic Sustainability Policy
We are engaged in business activities based on the “Vision: Pioneer the new norm for a safer and sustainable world” and “Mission: To create the optimum environment for humans and machines” as stated in our company philosophy “The IDEC Way”.
Our Principles of “The IDEC Way” and the IDEC GROUP Code of Conduct clearly state the actions to be taken to realize our Vision and Mission. We will actually take the actions in order to help realize a sustainable society and increase our corporate value.
Sustainability Promotion System
The Sustainability Committee, chaired by the CEO, was established to develop our Group’s sustainability action policy. Five specialized committees were established under it to focus on specific policy areas: Environment, Social, Governance, plus two for areas of our strengths, Safety and Quality; together referred to as “ESG+Sa+Q,” and these specialized committees are each chaired by an executive officer and consist of knowledgeable, experienced members who develop measures pertaining to their respective themes. The Sustainability Committee meets twice a year, and important matters discussed are reported to and supervised by the Top Management Meeting and the Board of Directors as may be necessary.
Departmental managers (Sustainability Leaders) thoroughly communicate matters discussed and approved by the Sustainability Committee and their implementation to each employee at the Workplace Training Sessions.
