Messages from Outside Directors
Kunio Ito
Outside Director
In your capacity as chair of the Governance Committee, what contributions are you particularly aware of? To the extent possible, please tell us about the content of your committee's discussions in fiscal 2021 and what you are keeping in mind in preparation for fiscal 2022.
In carrying out my duties as chair of the committee, I pay attention to transparency and fairness so that I can fulfill my accountability to share- holders. I also strive to elicit active opinions from committee members, especially the outside directors. The Governance Committee discusses the nomination and remuneration for members of the Board as well as matters concerning governance in general. In fiscal 2021, we held in-depth discussions on topics that included the management team succession plan, a review of the remuneration system for members of the Board and corporate auditors, a review of the internal culture with regard to the Underwriters Laboratories (now UL Solutions) certification issue, and where the responsibilities of members of the Board lie. In fiscal 2022, we will be focusing on further increasing the frequency of Governance Committee meetings, the further reform of the corporate culture, deepening discussions on Board member succession plans, and on fundamentally reviewing the remuneration system for members of the Board and corporate auditors.
Do you have any recommendations for environmental initiatives?
Toray has been proactively addressing environmental issues in its R&D and product development. Going forward, I want to have great expectations for the role that Toray will play in promoting Green Transformation (GX). I would also like the Company to actively promote the disclosure of information on climate change, including the TCFD. In particular, I would like to see Toray actively working to measure and disclose Scope 3 GHG emissions, which Japanese companies have yet to adequately address, thereby leading Japan as a whole.
Do you have any recommendations for human resources initiatives?
I would like the Company to promote human capital management in line with the ITO Report for Human Capital Management (published in September 2020) and the ITO Report 2.0 for Human Capital Management (published in May 2022). In particular, I want the Company to proceed with the following recommendations: the further linking of management strategy and human resources strategy; the development of company-wide dialogue to foster a corporate culture that encourages behavioral changes in organizations and individuals; the provision of wide-ranging reskilling opportunities for employees outside their positions; the dynamic placement of the right person in the right job that capitalizes not only on that person's attributes but also on their knowledge and experience.
