Responsible for formulating and supervising the direction and promotion plans for corporate sustainability policy, the Sustainable Development Committee is overseen by the President.

The Sustainable Development Committee is composed of three independent directors and the Company’s senior executives, divided into three groups in Environment (E), Social (S) and Governance (G). The Environment Group has 4 task forces in “plastic reduction,” “carbon reduction,” “food waste reduction” and “sustainable procurement.” The Social Group includes task forces in “Social Welfare” and “Employees and Franchise Owners.” The three groups are responsible for drawing up and implementing policies in corporate sustainable development, systems, management principles and specific promotion plans. The Sustainable Development Committee convenes twice a year, as well as reporting the performance of implementation and the plans for the following year to the Board of Directors at the end of the year. In view of the importance of climate governance, the Company also reports the progress of greenhouse gas inventory and verification to the Board of Directors every quarter.
