EY Japan is proud to announce the FY22 results of initiatives based on its own long-term value (LTV) vision.
To realize its purpose of Building a better working world (BBWW), in Japanese society and markets, EY Japan launched the LTV Vision in July 2022, to create value from a long-term perspective for our clients and society, economy and ourselves.
In particular, we have established a project team for our own initiatives and are promoting activities with KPIs based on the "Stakeholder Capitalism Index".
Planet: EY has set a goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2025 to promote environmental and sustainable long-term growth. To achieve this goal, EY Japan is also working on annual usage and emissions planning based on the analysis of electricity, water, gas, and heat consumption at each office and data center, as well as CO₂ emissions from business trips. EY Japan is also promoting the establishment of resource circular systems, including the elimination of the use of disposable plastic cups in the cafe at the Tokyo office and efforts to improve the waste recycling rate.
Social Value: As a business leader, we recognize that long-term value must be brought to all stakeholders. At EY Japan, various programs to improve education for the next generation and employment assistance are taking place. We have also planned hands-on workshops for junior high school through university students to foster entrepreneurship. In addition, we will jointly hold an accelerator program with the political and business parties to nurture local entrepreneurs to solve regional and social challenges.
Talent: At EY Japan, we are deepening our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusiveness (DE&I) to create an attractive workplace where each professional can maximize their abilities. As part of this initiative, we have established the Diverse Abilities Center (DAC), a new organization to enable people with neuro-diverse abilities (developmental disabilities, Asperger's syndrome, autism, etc.) to pursue careers as EY members, and have recruited 22 participants on June 1. In addition, we began a collaboration with a university to develop a subjective well-being index.
