Creating the Future: Education and Awareness Initiatives

Since 2019 we have conducted sustainability management seminars aimed at officers, general managers, and representatives from our group companies. These seminars are designed to deepen their understanding of sustainability.

The purpose is to encourage each employee to voluntarily learn about sustainability and to connect their thoughts to daily operations (transforming personal insights into actions) by promoting the acquisition of the "Sustainability Management Certification" (Level 2 and Level 3). At the Orico Group, we will utilize the knowledge gained through this certification to address customer and societal challenges.

A "Sustainability Leaders Workshop" was held for employees below the manager level, featuring an external lecturer. Employees who volunteered participated in activities that linked their personal purpose with the company's purpose, sessions on current sustainability issues, and group discussions on what is necessary for the future of society and the planet.

We hold dialogues between the President and employees, as well as town hall meetings, to strengthen two-way communication. These events also serve to enhance understanding and permeate awareness of our medium-term management plan, where sustainability is positioned as a fundamental principle.

We provide sustainability training tailored to different hierarchical levels, including orientation for new employees, newly-appointed general managers, and more.

To further foster sustainability within our organization, we internally distribute explanatory videos aimed at enhancing employee understanding of sustainability and encouraging individual ownership of sustainable practices.

We communicate information to the public utilizing our resources to help solve problems that local communities are facing.
We hold seminars on various topics, including preventing frailty in older people, popularizing EVs to reduce CO2 emissions, and diversity.

We sponsored the SDGs QUEST Mirai Koshien Tokyo Tournament, a contest where high school students work in teams to develop action ideas for achieving the SDGs.
We set up an internal project for which the employees who came forward to took part in the selection of the winner for the Orico Award.
