Engagement with Stakeholders
Vision for 2030
A company that is appreciated and understood to be the world leader in non-ferrous metals
Approach and Policy
Our Vision for 2030 aims to solve social issues and gaining the trust of stakeholders is essential for realizing this vision. We are working to ensure that our diverse stakeholders correctly understand the true size of the Group and encouraging them to share in our goal of becoming the world leader in the non-ferrous metals industry. We have identified the groups of stakeholders who affect or are affected by the SMM Group as customers, shareholders, employees, local communities, creditors, business partners, NGOs and NPOs, and government agencies. We have set targets for how we should engage with each of these groups, and we are advancing various initiatives to achieve these targets.
