Sustainability Policy
Under our vision of “Life-long Ink,” Wacom is committed to delivering meaningful human experiences—grounded in Wacom technologies—to our customers and society over a very long-time horizon. As an instrument craftsman that pursues the ultimate “kaku (inking)” experience, we both support the act of kaku and work to reduce environmental impact, positioning our response to sustainability related challenges as a core element of our management strategy.
To embed this approach across all of our business activities, we promote ethical and responsible corporate operations based on the following standards:
Our fundamental policy for conducting sound and transparent business activities.
Wacom Supplier Code of ConductOur guidelines for advancing responsible procurement and, together with our partners, contributing to the realization of a better society.
Wacom will continue to organically connect communities, business growth, and sustainability, and pursue sustainable, meaningful growth—not defined by metrics alone—through holistic inking experiences.
Sustainability Governance
Wacom has established an ESG Task Force to ensure that the Board of Directors appropriately supervises and advises on important issues related to sustainability, such as climate change. The ESG Task Force meets regularly to examine specific sustainability policies and consider strategies, measures, and progress toward environmental targets. Participants include the President and CEO, the CFO, the environmental management representative, the secretariat of the Compliance and Risk Committee, and IR staff. Of the matters discussed by the ESG Task Force, important subjects — particularly those related to management risks and opportunities — are reported annually to the Board of Directors, which includes outside directors.
