Dialogue with Stakeholders
Japanese page
The IHI Group views its primary stakeholders with a significant influence over ongoing corporate activities as its customers, business partners, shareholders, investors, government agencies, local communities, employees, and NPOs/ NGOs.
As such, the Group values and engages in broad dialogue with these stakeholders. The Integrated Report and Sustainability Data Book are published as tools for this dialogue.
Topics with stakeholders that are considered particularly vital are reported to the Management Committee and Board of Directors, and are thus reflected in our corporate strategy.
Main Results of Dialogue with Stakeholders in FY2023 (Summary)
Dialogue with UN Agencies
In fiscal 2023, the IHI Group re-held the dialogue with the United Nations Development Programme that had been held in fiscal 2022.
During this dialogue, explanations were given of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct and the climate change provisions of the proposed CSDDD (EU environment and due diligence directive), as well as an exchange of opinions on future dialogue themes.
The United Nations Development Programme calls for Japanese companies to actively participate in international organizations and initiatives, including the United Nations, and to lead the way as a Japanese company, and to carry out continuous and lasting dialogue and engagement with NGOs and other organizations. It was requested that companies engage in discussions from the perspective of “what are we missing?” and that they confront suggestions from society that may conflict with corporate interests head-on.
The IHI Group will listen carefully to these requests and continue to engage in dialogue with its stakeholders.
