I would like to express our sincere gratitude to our stakeholders.
Awareness of social issues and environmental issues has increased around the world, with initiatives to realize a sustainable society emerging in multiple fields. Corporations too must raise their consciousness about social and environmental issues to grow in line with the society in the long run.
Konami Group has implemented various initiatives in its businesses in order to realize a sustainable society.
Countermeasures for global warming has also become a common and long-term global issue, with multiple countries and regions setting carbon neutrality as a goal for 2050.
Konami Group has responded to the increasing demand for corporations to disclose non-financial information on sustainability by releasing information in line with international sustainability standards.
We will strengthen our efforts to realize a carbon neutral and decarbonized society to create a sustainable society in which future generations can live with peace of mind.
In order to promote these activities throughout the Group, the Sustainability Committee, convened every quarter, handles various themes related to the sustainability of Konami Group and formulate effective measures.
We believe that the health of our employees is essential for the sustainable development of Konami Group.
With this, we are strengthening our "Health and Productivity Management" initiatives to maintain mental and physical condition with the aim of maximizing work performance.
As a result, we have been listed on the "White 500 List" jointly complied by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Nippon KenkoKaigi for nine consecutive years since 2017 for being a company that practices excellent health and productivity management in cooperation with insurers.
Going forward, we will continue to create an environment where each employee can fully demonstrate their abilities and grow with the company.
