Tokyo Gas created a CSR promotion system by setting up a CSR Promotion Committee (chaired by the executive officer in charge of CSR) in October 2004 and establishing a Corporate Social Responsibility Section in the Corporate Communications Department in December 2004.
This committee is composed of 19 general managers drawn from divisional planning departments and other associated departments and is tasked with promoting CSR management. It deliberates key CSR issues within the Group, including the revision of key CSR activities, identification of material aspects in line with the Challenge 2020 Vision, and sharing and discussion of information concerning the state of action.
Matters examined by the committee are reported to the Corporate Executive Meeting and Board of Directors for deliberation and finalization as necessary.
The Corporate Social Responsibility Section acts as the committee's secretariat and works through it to encourage action across the Group to meet society's expectations as determined by public information and consultation activities, such as dialogue with stakeholders and publication of CSR reports. It also plans and organizes training sessions to raise awareness and knowledge of good CSR practice, enhance understanding of action to achieve the Challenge 2020 Vision (such as by highlighting examples of key CSR activities), and cultivate a shared vision among employees of the direction in which the Group is heading.

▶ Corporate Governance
We are working to raise all employees' awareness of CSR in order to make them understand and practice good CSR in the course of their daily business. This is achieved both through training and by providing CSR-related information via a number of channels, including the distribution of booklets and displaying posters summarizing the Group's CSR and key activities, and publishing information on the intranet and the Group's internal newsletter.
