Policy and Structure

Basic Sustainability Policy

Connecting to Tomorrow, Nurturing the Future, and
Creating a Better Society
for Everyone

At the Vital KSK Group, we intend to help resolve the varied issues faced by society and local communities through our business operations. We will do this by focusing on distributing pharmaceuticals as we aid in creating a society where everyone can live healthy, prosperous lives with security and peace of mind, and as we continue to increase our corporate value.

Sustainability Promotion System

The Sustainability Committee was established in October 2022 to consider specific ways to address ESG-related social issues and to drive sustainability initiatives. The Committee, chaired by the Executive Vice President, includes directors, executive officers, and department heads. Working in close cooperation with other departments throughout the Group, we have set up an effective promotion system to help create a sustainable society.

Based on requests from stakeholders and to help resolve social and environmental issues, the Sustainability Committee formulates the Group’s basic sustainability strategy, manages the progress of sustainability initiatives at Group operating companies, and reports on these initiatives to the Board of Directors twice a year. In response to the Committee’s reports, the Board of Directors strengthens the governance of the entire Group and provides guidance, as necessary, for effectively developing sustainability.
