Environmental Management
SoftBank views global environmental problems as key management issues. For both our officers and employees to actively work to reduce environmental impacts, we have enacted an Environmental Action Policy based on approval by a higher-level meeting committee structure including the management team. Business activities subject to the Environmental Action Policy include all facilities and equipment, business expansion via M&As, joint ventures, etc. and entry into new businesses.
