SUSTAINABILITY

MIXI has continually developed and offered services with the vision of enriching lives and the future by improving communication and forging connections between friends, family, and people who share common interests.

Technological innovations have made many aspects of our lives more convenient. However, as individuals find themselves surrounded more and more by information that has been specifically optimized for them, we are increasingly seeing discussions about our society becoming more divided, isolating, and fraught with anxiety. Against this backdrop, it is no wonder the proper role and meaning of communication are in question.

We intend to foster inspiration and empathy by connecting people’s hearts and minds through communication—whether online or offline—while striving towards a future brimming with fun and opportunity. Towards this end, we will continue to innovate in the tech world and provide reliable services that create spaces and opportunities for enjoyable communication to take place. Discussions with our users, local communities, and stakeholders will be integral as we do our utmost to contribute to the creation of a sustainably prosperous world through our business activities.

Considering the impact on our corporate activities and stakeholders, we have established eight material issues as themes that we will implement throughout our corporate activities.

As a company that produces communication services, we will create connections among people, communities, and society, and promote innovation as a source of creating value, while at the same time making sincere efforts to operate wholesome services.

We will also promote the reinforcement and improvement of our management foundation in terms of information security and privacy, the activities of our diverse human resources, and governance.

The senior corporate officer in charge of sustainability promotion is to be in charge of initiatives regarding sustainability (hereinafter, "Chief Sustainability Officer"). The Sustainability Secretariat, an advisory body to the Chief Sustainability Officer, sets evaluation indicators for each material issue and continuously monitors the performance and progress of the initiatives. The Chief Sustainability Officer reports to the Board of Directors once every three months.

The Sustainability Secretariat seeks advice from the Risk Management Committee as appropriate and conducts interviews with each department and Group company as necessary in order to identify and assess risks and opportunities related to sustainability and to consider how to respond to them. The Sustainability Secretariat also conducts annual reviews of sustainability-related risks and opportunities and the progress of response measures.
