Framework for promotion

Materiality

Since our establishment, we have sought to contribute tosociety through our business activities, acknowledging theimportance of sustainability for ourselves and for society.
In November 2021, following deliberations by the Boardof Directors, we formulated the SECOM Group’s Basic
Sustainability Policy with the purpose of clarifying ourcommitment to promoting sustainable management, that is,management that takes social imperatives, including thoserelated to the global environment and human rights, intoconsideration.

We have established the Sustainability Promotion Office,under the jurisdiction of the director in charge ofsustainability, with the objective of integrating sustainability
initiatives into business strategies. The Sustainability
Promotion Office is charged with formulating sustainability
policies, disseminating information across the SECOM Group,
devising medium-to long-term greenhouse gas reduction
targets, addressing the recommendations of the Task Forceon Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) andproviding information to stakeholders. The status ofsustainability initiatives is reported to the President andRepresentative Director as appropriate and matters of highimportance are further reported to the Board of Directors.
The Sustainability Promotion Office also stages theSECOM Group Sustainability Meeting, which is attended byenvironmental and CSR managers and staff from individual
business segments across the Group. Participants exchange
information and hold discussions to advance initiatives
related to domestic and global social imperatives, the SDGs,and responding to TCFD recommendations.

SECOM’s Philosophy calls for offering services that arebeneficial for society as a whole. “The Constitutions of theSECOM Group in Business and Management” sets forth ourcommitment to provide services and systems that deliverpeace of mind and contribute to the betterment of society. In
keeping with this fundamental commitment, we continue
striving to offer forward-looking services that anticipate
what is needed to ensure sustainable growth for society andtirelessly pursuing service innovation.
Given the increasingly more complex and intertwined
natures of social imperatives, reflecting changes in theexternal environment, individual needs regarding safety andpeace of mind are becoming greater and more diverse. With
the aim of continuing to create services and systems that

have identified six priority materiality themes, that is,themes of primary importance to sustainable growth, basedon a self-assessment conducted in accordance with ISO

business strategies and promote them Groupwide.
