Promotion of Sustainability Management

Leveraging the Japan Post Group's strengths, we aim for growth as the Group based on each businessstrategy. We also seek greater sustainability of society and the Group through enhancing well-being^*1and contributing to a low-environmental-load society, such as GX^*2.

(*1) "A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being." (from the Preamble of the Constitution of the World Health Organization ). The Japan Post Group uses the term "Well-being" as a concept to include optimal states of beingfor diverse individuals and communities.
(*2) GX (Green Transformation) refers to initiatives to transform the conventional fossil energy-centered industrial/social structures into ones fueled by renewable energy.

Japan Post Group will seek to realize the Japan Group Management Philosophy through the implementation of "Sustainability Management," and we will contribute to our own sustainable growth and the realization of a sustainable society through assessment from a medium-to-long-term perspective of the impact of our business environment and social issues on Group management. In "JP Vision 2025+" we set ourselves the Non-financial targets of contributing to the creation of a sustainable society by providing lifelong support in an era of 100-year life and supporting the development and revitalization of local communities across Japan, and committed ourselves to the implementation of Sustainability Management.

(*1) The figure is the percentage of all management positions filled by women at the head offices of our four main Group companies. The target is the percentage as of April 1, 2031 as the results of initiatives up to the end of FY2030.The Group will also work to improve the work environment and train human resources to boost the number of employees pursuing management and executive positions in order to increase the number of women in management positions in locations other than our head offices.
(*2) Targets are for Scope 1 (Direct emissions by the Company) and Scope 2 (Emissions from use of electricity, etc. supplied by other enterprises).
(*3) The achievement of these targets assumes that Japan will become carbon neutral to a considerable degree through the widespread adoption of renewable energy, etc. The Group will assist the push toward carbon neutral societies in both Japan and the rest of the world.

We will aim for the Group's sustainable growth and the creation of medium- to long-term corporate value by leveraging our network of post offices to contribute to local communities through our business and address social issues such as the SDGs.
