Companies are now required more than ever to address sustainability initiatives as a member of society, in addition to the pursuit of profit, which has traditionally been regarded as a top priority.

IINO Group has identified the materiality, key sustainability issues, based on two axes: business and social impact, taking the opinions of our stakeholders into account.

Of particular importance in the materiality is "Always Safety First," as stated in our Corporate Philosophy. By providing safety and security in both the Shipping and Real Estate businesses, we hope to connect the wishes of people around the world, build a brighter future, and realize our Corporate Philosophy.

We have set the creation of social value by overcoming materiality as a key strategy in our mid-term management plan, with a particular focus on three areas: Realization of a Decarbonized Society, Enhancement of Diversity and Human Capital, and Respect for Human Rights. In our efforts to realize a decarbonized society, we have established a roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and aim to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, in order to maximize corporate value through mutual growth of the Company and employees, we have set KPIs related to strengthening human capital. As a response to respect for human rights, we have expressed our support for the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and are addressing human rights including the supply chain through the formulation of the Group's human rights policy, procurement policy, and supplier code of conduct, as well as through the implementation of human rights due diligence.

IINO Group will promote initiatives to create social value and contribute to a sustainable society in order to realize its long-term goal, IINO VISION for 2030, namely to become an independent global corporate group that continues to evolve with creative ideas in response to the demands of the times.
