Details of Sustainability Topics

Since 2022, NSHD has been conducting engagement surveys. (For details on the engagement survey, please see here.) Reports from surveyed companies indicate that companies with high levels of sustainable engagement tend to outperform companies with lower levels. Accordingly, since 2024, we have been holding workshops for the engagement survey offices and managers of Group companies with the aim of improving their scores. The second workshop, held in May 2025, featured group discussions and case studies from Group companies with the following objectives: (1) learn how to interpret survey results and identify key issues; (2) experience the process of developing action plans in response to those issues; (3) understand the latest trends in engagement and apply them to action plans; and (4) take effective actions by learning from analysis and case studies across Group companies. By providing opportunities for Group companies to present their actual action plans and their outcomes, the workshop was an opportunity to learn from peers and share insights among participants.
