Strengthening our Business Foundations

With global environmental conservation as one of the challenges facing our business, we have formulated a long-term environmental strategy named "Minna de ECO." together with our users and the communities that we serve with the purpose of implementing a variety of initiatives that can help us reduce our impact upon the environment. As part of this, we have set upon three key themes.
As regards the Tokyo Metro Group's efforts toward helping Japan achieve its goals of reducing its greenhouse gases as agreed at the Paris Agreement, we will focus on further energy-saving measures for our railway facilities and promoting the use of public transport through leveraging the idea of railways being a highly energy-efficient means of transportation. Through these initiatives we will aim to reduce CO2 emissions for society as a whole.

Under the slogan of "WORK × LIFE SMILE ACTION--Enabling All Employees to Maximize Their Potential," we will review company-wide working styles, including for those working in more hands-on roles, and promote initiatives that place the improvement of employee health as a challenge for our business as part of our efforts to improve employee job satisfaction and generate new possibilities to grow the Tokyo Metro Group.

Company-Wide Work Style Reforms

• Creation of a system that supports a positive work-life balance through assistance for childcare, care-giving and other forms of care and treatment, enabling our employees to work with increased peace of mind

• Creation of communication opportunities that effectively improve employee job satisfaction

• Optimize work proceedures through use of new technologies

Health Management That Brings Out the Vitality of Employees

• Establish a committee for the promotion of health management, and use this to promote the health of company employees and their families, enabling us to create an environment in which employees are able to maximize their own potential

• Initiatives that help build and maintain the mental and physical wellbeing of our employees so that they can continue to work in good health, including such efforts to improve the quality of employee sleep and diet, and conduct sports-science based research

The duties that group companies should fulfill are: (1) Ensuring safe and stable transportation, (2) Increasing earnings and profits for the entire group, and (3) Improving expertise and quality, with the aim to increase sustainable business value by having each company collaborate based around these values.

Group Companies

With an eye to the future, we will promote efficient business operations through cost reductions, productivity improvements and through the creativity and originality of each of our employees and reviews to our working methods. We will also continue to work on speeding up decision making across all group companies through the delegation of authority.

Improving our corporate governance with the aim of becoming a trusted business group will allow us to ensure transparency and fairness in our business dealings. We will also strive toward the speedy execution of our operations, and aim for more efficient management of our business.

We will manage various risks and ensure thorough compliance by stipulating the basic practices related to promotions and operations in the "Basic Rules for Compliance Risk Management." Along with this, we will also make further improvements to our whistleblower system and other systems such as those for preventing harassment, as well as promote various initiatives to improve their effectiveness.

Under a transparent, fair and impartial system, we will promote international procurement from a global perspective in order to procure high-quality and technologically superior products with guaranteed after-care, all at the optimal price.
