Basic Approach

The ANA Group's ESG management promotion aims to fulfill its social responsibility by communicating with various stakeholders (customers, employees, shareholders, investors, business partners, national and local governments, local committees, etc.), allowing us to accurately identify social needs and take suitable measures. Moreover, the group aims to ensure the security interest of society as well as our own sustainable growth, thereby creating social and economic value concurrently in order to continue contributing to the creation of future society.

Based on this philosophy, the ANA Group pursues ESG management according to the following tenets:

We will demonstrate sound business management by conducting all of our business activities with the utmost priority on safety and under strict compliance, while ensuring thorough risk management that enables accurate and immediate action to be taken in times of crisis.
We will strive to address environmental and social issues through our corporate activities and contribute to the development of a sustainable society.

In 2008, the ANA Group joined the United Nations Global Compact. The UN Global Compact is a movement joined voluntarily by companies and organizations to build a global framework for achieving sustainable growth. We identify opportunities and risks through engagement with stakeholders in Japan and around the world, pursuing initiatives toward the creation of social value and economic value from a global perspective.

Implementation Structure

We established the Group ESG Management Promotion Committee according to the Group ESG Management Promotion Committee Regulations. This committee, which operates under the guidance of the president, consists of the Chief ESG Promotion Officer (as chair), ANA HOLDINGS and group company directors, executive officers, and full-time Audit & Supervisory Board members of ANA HOLDINGS. The committee establishes core policies, formulates proposals, and deliberates matters related to ESG management promotion. After deliberations, important matters are elevated to the board of directors, the Audit & Supervisory Board, and the Group Management Committee, ensuring the smooth promotion of ESG management within the group. Based on these regulations, each group company has an appointed ESG Promotion Officer (EPO) as a supervisor of ESG management promotion and ESG Promotion Leaders (EPLs) to lead their organization's ESG management promotion.

The following is how ANA Holdings pursues the PDCA cycle to promote ESG management. The Group ESG Management Promotion Committee determines policies, plans, and goals for the Plan (foundation for plan activities) step of the cycle. The Do (activities and disclosure) step of the cycle consists of engaging in accountability through a variety of disclosures and carrying out ANA Group cross-organizational policies. Check (assessment, indicator analysis) consists of employee awareness surveys, e-learning, and ANA's Way AWARDS. Finally, the Action (identifying issues) step consists of clearly identifying key issues (from long-term and ESG perspectives) and engaging with stakeholders. For each operating business and division, the PDCA cycle consists of the following elements. Plan consists of setting goals and implementation steps based on group policies and under the direction of the ESG promotion manager in each organization (EPO, EPL). Do consists of performing activities within each organization and conducting education and development activities. Check consists of engaging in risk management and performing internal / external audits. Finally, Action consists of incorporating the response to issues plans for the next fiscal year.

Promotion of ESG Management Initiatives Throughout the Supply Chain

The ANA Group believes it is important to promote ESG management measures not just in its own business activities but also throughout the entire supply chain, which includes suppliers, manufacturers, and subcontractors. To facilitate these efforts, we have established the ANA Group Purchasing Policy by referencing international social responsibility guidelines, such as ISO 26000. Based on this policy, we formulated the Supplier Management Policy and CSR Guidelines, which we share with business partners.

We created the ANA Group Purchasing Guidelines based on the following Basic Policy, Purchase Transaction Principles, and Supplier Management Policy.

Interest in food safety and traceability, environmental conservation in production processes, and respect for human rights related to production activities is rising around the world. We intend to use the Bluenumber platform for in-flight meals and other food-related activities to strengthen our food supply chain management.
