The OLC Group is striving to reduce the use of disposable plastic in line with the OLC Group Environmental Policy.
With respect to items and restaurants, we will continue stepping up our measures to reduce the use of plastic by adopting renewable resources, among others. We are also continuing with our efforts to recycle waste plastic through rigorous sorting.
The OLC Group undertakes environmental activities in line with the OLC Group Environmental Policy.
Recognizing environmental issues as an important managerial challenge to be addressed, our Board of Directors resolved to set “Measures to address climate change and natural disasters” and a “Recycling-oriented society” as areas of our ESG Materiality, and monitor the progress made in our related plans. The OLC Group has established an Environment Committee chaired by the Director of the Corporate Strategy Planning Division (Executive Director and Executive Officer). The committee is responsible for planning and setting targets for the Company’s environmental activities including climate change. Established under the Environment Committee, the Subcommittee on Resource Recycling shares our waste management policy across the OLC Group and strengthens collaboration. We strive to implement initiatives to reduce environmental impact by conducting fact-finding surveys, and devise strategies for reducing waste generated by the OLC Group including single-use plastics. Through the Environment Committee, targets and plans regarding environment actions are reported to the Board of Directors annually.
