Our Approach to Stakeholder Engagement

At the OLC Group, we believe in the importance of direct dialogue with our customers, employees, children, shareholders and investors, corporate sponsors, vendor and suppliers, licensors and partners, NPO・NGO・experts,  local communities and local governments, etc. and put this belief into practice in the course of our daily work. We ensure appropriate and open information disclosure to stakeholders and place value on interactive communication with them to evolve our business activities and engage in activities that contribute to achieving a sustainable society.

Purpose of Stakeholder Engagement

We aim to obtain opinions from stakeholders through interactive communication, and report the summarized feedback to the top management team so that it can be reflected in our management.
* Stakeholder engagement: The process of being actively involved with one or more stakeholders through dialogue or other means, with the aim of achieving a mutually acceptable outcome, in the course of a corporation’s integration of its social responsibility into day-to-day practice.

Management Structure to Promote Initiatives for Each Stakeholder

Established in July 2021 as an advisory body to the Executive Committee, the Corporate Conduct Committee discusses diversity and inclusion, supply chain management, and stakeholder engagement across our Group, under the responsibility of the Director of the Corporate Strategy Planning Division ( Executive Director and Executive Officer ), who serves as the Chairperson.

The Subcommittee on Stakeholder Engagement which met regularly reporting to the Corporate Conduct Committee dissolved due to establishing engagement plans for each stakeholder. Sustainability Promotion Department will monitor its progress from now on.
Divisions and business sites that are closely aligned with the respective types of stakeholders head up interactive communications with them, serving as contact points to enhance engagement.The outcomes of engagement are shared with related divisions as well as the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Sustainability Promotion Committee, Corporate Conduct Committee, and other committees as necessary to discuss improvement measures. In addition, we try to disclose as much information as possible on our website and in the form of sustainability reports and other materials in order to implement a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.

Examples of Communication with Major Stakeholders
