NIKON REPORT 2016
Advancing CSR activities as one of its priority management issues, the
Nikon Group decides on its priority issues in the CSR Medium-term
Plan. Each priority issue is stipulated in the three-year plan and acted
upon as an annual target by the division responsible. On a half-yearly
basis, progress reports on each target are reported to the respective
superior committee bodies to involve management echelons, including
the CSR Committee, and efforts advanced by assessment.
Priority Issues in the CSR Medium-term Plan
In view of the major changes in its business environment in recent
years, in the scal year ended March 31, 2016, the Group advanced
root-and-branch reviews of the priority issues that had arisen.
Specically, the Group performed interview enquiries with regard to
the 11 major business units, checked responses against social issues
such as those from the core subjects of ISO 26000, and gathered
opinions from its employees around the world, on the basis of which
discussions were held with the main divisions involved. Lectures were
given by external CSR experts at the CSR Committee and opinions
were exchanged.
The result again raised awareness of the importance of linking
management and CSR activities, and it was decided that priority
issues would be reviewed in time for 2018, the year in which the next
Medium-Term Management Plan will start. However, with regard to
responses to the issues that were brought to light during the course of
this review, the Group has decided to proceed without waiting for 2018.
