49、ni Corporation Sustainable Development Report 2022Medium-Term Management Strategy GC2024“Green Strategy”In our Medium-Term Management Strategy,GC2024,which we released in February 2022,we have raised our Green Strategy as one ofour basic policies.Sustainability initiatives such as decarbonization,th

50、e transition to a circular economy,protection of water resources and bio-diversity,promotion of human rights,and so on,are related to social issues that need to be solved and is an obligation for all companies to ful?ll.By collaborating with customers,partners,and other stakeholders to solve such so

51、cial challenges,we ultimately aim to enhance ourcorporate value.We aspire to become the forerunner in green business by“strengthening our green business”and“promoting the greening in all businessdomains.”Firstly,we will focus on“strengthening our green businesses,”including areas such as renewable e

52、nergy,forestry,agri-input,copper/aluminum,and water infrastructure.We already have solid business foundations and high competitiveness and pro?tability inthese areas,and we will continue to focus on allocating capital to expand and strengthen our business.Furthermore,our advantage lies in our abilit

53、y to leverage our existing business base and network,and by promoting Group-wide cross-sectional initiatives,and we aim to create new green businesses in areas such as new energy,decentralized power/battery storage andsupply-demand adjustments,recycling of materials and resources,decarbonization sol

55、ironmental and Social Materiality,and we will continue to strengthenthis area as we consider it a prerequisite for the promotion of our Green Strategy（See P9.）Our approach to human rights is putting into practice the three areas of(1)establishment of a human rights policy,(2)human rights duediligenc

56、e,and(3)grievance mechanisms.As part of this approach,from FYE 3/2021 to FYE 3/2022,we noti?ed our basic policy on human rights to approximately 20,000 Tier 1suppliers in order to inform and alert suppliers and contractors engaged by Marubeni Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries tothe polic

57、y.We intend to take steps to respond to this issue as part of our sustainability e?orts in the supply chain.As for human rights due diligence,we anticipate that the trend toward mandatory human rights due diligence will spread,particularly inEurope,and we are enhancing our responses in anticipation

58、of this trend.After identifying sectors,commercial stages,and regions with salient human rights risks,we intend to continue strengthening our e?ortsto implement risk mitigation measures and actions for redress,as well as to create mechanisms to support these.Click here to view more details on Respec

62、details on Supply Chain11Marubeni Corporation Sustainable Development Report 2022 Tier 1 Supplier Survey(Consolidated Basis)We conduct Tier 1 supplier survey(consolidated basis)according to the following three processes in principle.Step 1:We noti?ed all Tier 1 suppliers,including our consolidated s

63、ubsidiaries,of the“Basic Supply Chain Sustainability Policy”and“Marubeni Group Basic Policy on Human Rights.”We also identi?ed“critical commodities in supply chain”that have relatively highsustainability-related risks within the supply chain.Step 2:We will conduct a primary survey of the companies o

64、f the selected critical commodities identi?ed in the supply chain,including“con?rmation of the implementation of sustainability-related surveys by third-party institutions,etc.”and“con?rmation of the acquisitionof sustainability-related certi?cations,etc.”From the results,we will consider proceeding

65、 to the next Step 3,the secondary survey,forthose surveyed companies that could not be con?rmed.Step 3:For the secondary survey,we intend to implement a PDCA cycle that includes risk mapping to identify the location of risks,implementation of written survey and on-site inspection using methods speci

66、?c to those risks,analysis and feedback of survey results,and consideration and disclosure of engagement methods.Establish Policies for Individual CommoditiesAs part of our supply chain management,we have established policies for individual commodities,for high-risk commodities.In FYE3/2022,we estab

67、lished new procurement policies for palm oil and beef.We will continue to formulate our procurement policy from time totime for higher risk commodities.12Marubeni Corporation Sustainable Development Report 2022Human CapitalHuman capital is the Groups greatest asset and the driving force of value cre

68、ation.In the Medium-Term Management Strategy GC2024,we will further evolve the“Marubeni HR Ecosystem”set forth in GC2021 with the aim of further strengthening it.The“Marubeni HREcosystem”is a concept that forms the basis of our human capital strategy in order to realize our vision of a global crossv

69、alue platform,and it represents the direction in which we are striving for change.The Marubeni Group provides a setting where human capital of high social value with diverse backgrounds can come together,workactively,and connect with each other beyond the boundaries of the company and the organizati

70、on,where they can continue to take onthe challenge of creating new value by combining their diverse values and expertise:this is the kind of attractive ecosystem that we hopeto create.The Talent Management Committee,a human capital strategy committee consisting of the President,CAO,and CSO as key me

71、mbers,discusses and promotes the human capital strategies to achieve this vision.The Talent Management Committee,which has been in placesince FYE 3/2022,will align management strategy with HR strategy and continue to discuss key priorities such as the optimal humancapital strategy for the Group,and

72、speci?cally,human capital allocation,leader development,engagement,diversity,and HR systemreform review,in order to promote the management-led changes with a sense of urgency.Click here to view more details on HR Management13Marubeni Corporation Sustainable Development Report 2022Promotion of the Fu

74、sion-oriented HR systemIt was fully launched in FYE 3/2022.We believe that this system will promote the implementation of organizational strategies and thegrowth of human capital by assigning performance-oriented missions and encouraging employees to take on larger missions.Employee engagementThe en

75、gagement survey conducted in 2021 showed a 10%increase in scores compared to the previous survey conducted in FYE 3/2020before the COVID-19s pandemic,and we believe this,along with an enhanced working environment,is leading to more employeesatisfaction and motivation.In this context,we are continual

76、ly implementing various initiatives to enhance dialogue and communication between management andemployees.In particular,the“Opinion Box”is an initiative in which the President himself sends out video messages on important topicsand directly responds to questions and opinions from employees.We believ

77、e that this is extremely meaningful in terms of raising Groupemployees understanding of and sense of involvement in important management policies and messages.14Marubeni Corporation Sustainable Development Report 2022Corporate Governance Composition of Board of DirectorsIn order to realize medium-to

78、 long-term enhancement of corporate value,we are continuously improving and strengthening ourcorporate governance,which lies at the foundation of sustainable management.As one of the measures to strengthen the Board of Directors,as announced in a press release on January 26,2022,the composition of t

79、heBoard of Directors was changed from 13 Directors,6 of whom are Outside Directors,to 10 Directors,of whom 6 are Outside Directors,andthis change was submitted to the Companys General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2022.For the?rst time in any general tradingcompanys history,the composition of the

80、Board of Directors now has a majority of Outside Directors.By having a majority of Independent Outside Directors,we hope to further enhance the supervisory function of the Board of Directors,promote a greater sense of urgency on the executive side,and further strengthen governance by clarifying the

81、functions of the Board ofDirectors and the Corporate Management Committee.The results of assessment of the Board of Directors e?ectiveness in FYE 3/2022 and the policy for FYE 3/2023 are shown on the next page.For details,please refer to“Marubenis Corporate Governance Code Initiatives(Supplementary

87、solutions through innovation,and living by the Management Philosophy.Corporate value is composed of?nancial and non-?nancial value;non-?nancial value in particular is steadily growing in importance.Withregard to sustainability,such issues as climate change,the depletion of forestry resources and hum

88、an rights issues pose grave threats tosocial and environmental sustainability.Adopting and implementing clear medium-and long-term corporate policies regarding theseissues is directly related to increasing non-?nancial value and corporate value.Until now,to increase corporate value,each of our busin

89、esses has generally created its own innovative business model in anticipation ofthe challenges facing society.19Marubeni Corporation Sustainable Development Report 2022From now on,however,we will further fortify our traditionally strong businesses(vertical evolution)and also leverage internal and ex

210、of ensuring sustainable growth for the company.1.Human Capital with High Social Value2.Robust Management Foundation3.Governance for Coexistence with Society1.Human Capital with High Social ValueWe regard human resources as our most valuable asset in meeting environmental and social demand,and proact

211、ively providing solutions.We de?ne“Human Capital with High Social Value”as individuals who are essential not only to the company but also to society.We willnurture human capital with High Social Value,and thereby bring about innovation and provide solutions.To us,Human Capital with High Social Value

212、 means:Individuals who observe laws and act in conformity with accepted international customs,and who also maintain high ethical standards for thegood of society.Innovative individuals with the foresight,insight and creativity needed to anticipate social change.Individuals with sound judgment and th

213、e ability to make correct decisions and act quickly.Individuals with the communication skills to truly address the demands of society,with a sense of purpose and responsibility,while also beingattuned to the realities of the marketplace.These attributes are the foundation of decision-making,decisive

214、ness and the ability to execute.2.Robust Management FoundationWe have identi?ed Robust Management Foundation as the second category of Fundamental Materiality,as we believe it is necessary bothfor maximizing the potential of our human capital and for maximizing corporate value.We must build a founda

215、tion that facilitates the activities of our human capital and establish a truly Robust Management Foundation.If wecannot accomplish this,our human capital will not be able to continue innovating and providing solutions.Enabling our human resourcesto use our management foundation to the fullest will

216、ultimately lead to maximizing corporate value.To us,Robust Management Foundation means:A fundamentally sound management foundation with a strong brand presence,reputation,sales foundation and network,and?nancial footing.A corporate climate and culture that is capable of producing abundant Human Capi

217、tal with High Social Value,and can enable that human capital toengage in meaningful work.An environment that places importance on the ability to create diverse values and generate quality solutions within a diverse and inclusiveorganization.3.Governance for Coexistence with SocietyWe will endeavor t

234、n of economic activity,serious abuses of human rights against workers and local residents are taking place inrelevant countries and regions.Many of these abuses can be remedied or improved by taking human rights into consideration in businessactivities,and there are growing expectations that busines

235、ses should play a role in remedying human rights abuses.The Marubeni Group does business in 133 locations in 68 countries and regions and employs 40,000 people of many di?erentnationalities and ethnicities.We are active in a wide range of businesses and conduct global,multi-faceted activities.To cre

236、ate a better tomorrow,we take a sincere approach to dealing with human rights issues facing the international community.As partof our initiatives,we have included the three basic principles of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights:1)respect for human rights,2)due diligen

238、 contributions to sustainability through environmental conservation and sustainable socialdevelopment initiatives throughout our supply chain.To build a better tomorrow,we have identi?ed Sustainable and Resilient ValueChains and working together with our business partners as an essential category of

239、 Environmental and Social Materiality.In addition tomanaging the supply chain,we will also involve buyers of our products and enhance the strength and competitiveness of our entire valuechain,which includes not only the Marubeni group but also our business partners.As part of our sustainability init
