Meetings with Third-parties

Meetings with third-parties regarding the CSR action plans of Division Companies

ITOCHU Corporation furthers CSR initiatives based on CSR action plans that each of its seven Division Companies formulate. Aiming to upgrade the content of those plans, each Division Company invited experts in its business area (please see the table below) to participate in third-party CSR meetings. The meetings saw lively discussions about whether, from an outsider's viewpoint, each Division Company's CSR action plans identified the material issues and responded adequately to society's demands.
