Our Approach to Sustainability
Basic Approach
The Nikon Group defines sustainability as contribution to asustainable society and achievement of sustainable growthfor the company through the realization of its Corporate
Philosophy of Trustworthiness and Creativity in its businessactivities. With this idea as the main statement, the Board ofDirectors has decided on four intentions that support thisidea as the Sustainability Policy. Under this policy, the Nikon
Group has established the Nikon Code of Conduct, whichembodies Nikonʼs basic approach to CSR and lays down
standards for employees to follow when taking actions basedon this approach.
Sustainability goals are defined from the perspective ofboth creation of social value through business and whatis necessary to gain the trust of stakeholders and society,centering on issues defined as materialities. Because it isimportant that these goals be addressed as an integral partof the business, Nikon formulates them in conjunction withthe formulation of its Medium-Term Management Plan andAnnual Plan. In addition, the Medium-Term Management Plan,announced in April 2022, positions addressing materialities inour business from the perspectives of both trustworthinessand creativity as one element of our management basewithin our sustainability strategy.
In addition, we believe that dialogue with stakeholders isessential to our various sustainability initiatives, including
environmental, human rights, and ethical initiatives. We
also focus on appropriate information disclosure andcommunication based on that disclosure.
