CEO Message
Realizing a Sustainable Society and Enhancing Corporate Value
President & Chief Executive Officer
At the ANA Group, we view contributing to the realization of a sustainable society and enhancing our medium- to long-term corporate value as intrinsically linked, advancing initiatives toward their realization as the core of our business strategy.
To remain an airline group that grows together with society, we must build upon our foundation of safety and trust to connect people and communities around the world, continuing to be an indispensable presence.
Toward this end, we position our "8 Material Issues"—established as a compass for value creation—at the core of our sustainability management. From addressing global environmental issues such as climate change, upholding aviation safety, and empowering diverse talent, to revitalizing local communities and respecting human rights, we are steadily building upon a wide range of sustainability activities that fulfill our social responsibilities and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At the same time, the diverse issues surrounding sustainability represent both critical risks and significant opportunities that impact our long-term performance. To address these increasingly diverse and wide-ranging risks, the Group has established and integrated its proprietary Total Risk Management (TRM) system into our business activities. Built upon the risk management foundation cultivated over many years through our commitment to aviation safety, TRM integrates international standards such as COSO-ERM*1 and ISO 31000*2. Under this framework, we comprehensively and strategically identify and evaluate uncertainties affecting the achievement of our management goals from a group-wide perspective, further enhancing our business resilience through appropriate risk management.
Furthermore, we will build solid relationships of trust by transparently disclosing these management processes and objective outcomes—with due consideration of financial impacts—and engaging in ongoing, constructive dialogue with society and our stakeholders.
Looking ahead, the ANA Group will contribute to preserving the global environment and realizing a sustainable world. As an airline group that grows together with society, we will unite as one to steadily put into practice our corporate philosophy of "Contributing to a Future Filled with Dreams."
