Policy and Basic Approach

Grounded in the principles of our corporate philosophy—global citizen, honesty and virtue, and aspirations and creativity—the Metal One Group places sustainability at the core of our growth strategy. Our ultimate aim is to drive the sustainable development of society and industry and pass a prosperous planet on to future generations.

To embody our corporate purpose, “Empower the Global Metal Supply Chain,” Metal One is building markets that upgrade the metal industry and reform markets through overall optimization. While pursuing a balance among environmental, social and economic values, we will continue creating value that benefits all stakeholders—including customers, business partners, employees, shareholders and local communities—as well as the global environment.

Even in an era of rapid change, the Metal One Group will continue making responsible decisions and taking actions designed to foster a sustainable society, pursuing innovation with a view to the future and strengthening trust and collaboration across the entire supply chain.

Sustainability Management Structure

At Metal One, sustainability is one of our key management themes, and we’ve established a company-wide management structure for it, guided by the officer in charge of corporate functions. Our dedicated DEI & Sustainability Office plans and pursues company-wide sustainability policies, strategies and initiatives, while participants in the Sustainability Working Group discusses and organizes the company’s overall direction.

Discussion results from the Sustainability Working Group are passed to the executive committee and shared with other relevant bodies as well. We have also established a system to monitor key sustainability policies and risks at the management level, reflecting this in our business strategy.

Our DEI & Sustainability Office serves as the driving organization, sharing information, confirming progress, and holding discussions with the organizations responsible for driving materiality initiatives, as well as advancing initiatives in coordination with sales and corporate.
