Sustainability Management Framework
We have formulated the “Sustainability Management Framework” to systematically present a framework for decision-making when implementing sustainability management and to promote the Group's direction and unified efforts.
This framework consists of "Sustainability Goals" that outline the vision for 2045, "Sustainability Commitments/Targets“ that serve as milestones to achieve those goals, as well as policies and action guidelines for each issue.
Going forward, we plan to flexibly review this framework in light of changes in social conditions and to make continuous improvements.
In addition, in order to implement effective initiatives based on the Policy and Action Guidelines, the Group will formulate a "Sustainability Action Plan" and monitor the progress of sustainability management initiatives at each Group company.
This action plan will be reviewed regularly at the Sustainability Promotion Council and reported to the Board of Directors via the Executive Committee.

Sustainability Promotion System
The Group has established the Sustainability Promotion Council, chaired by the President, and the Sustainability Promotion Office, which serves as its secretariat and coordinates the promotion of sustainability management across the Group, in Holdings, with the aim of further strengthening efforts to realise a sustainable society. The Sustainability Promotion Council, which is based on the Sustainability Promotion Committee established at Nippon Koei in September 2021, will be responsible for considering important sustainability issues and targets across the Group and clarifying the necessary implementation strategies, etc.
It is responsible for formulating business policies and approving and deciding on activities relating to sustainability risks and opportunities for the Group as a whole, and the activities of this committee, which is basically held four times a year, are reported to the Board of Directors and the Executive Board as appropriate. Specific business operations that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are also considered by this meeting.
Signatory of the UN Global Compact
ID&E announced its support for the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in June 2019. We are also a member of the Global Compact Network Japan, which is comprised of Japanese companies that have signed the UNGC. ID&E Holdings will carry on this UNGC signature and promote support for UNGC throughout the Group.
Many of the projects in which we are involved, such as infrastructure construction, energy development, and environmental conservation in developing countries, will greatly contribute to the realization of the Ten Principles of the Global Compact. We will promote management in accordance with these principles and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society through our business.
