News release
TopTOKYO, JAPAN – February 9, 2023 – Terumo Corporation (TSE: 4543) today announced that it will revise the performance evaluation system for Executive Officers, effective from April 1, 2023*. This is part of Terumo’s continued effort to increase its corporate value through achieving the 5-Year Growth Strategy “GS26”.
Under GS26, Terumo is actively promoting sustainability management, and is strengthening its initiatives around ESG and Creating Social Value (CSV) as a means of increasing corporate value.
The objective of the revision is to clarify the role and responsibilities of each individual Executive Officer in fulfilling the company’s commitment to sustainability management, while fairly evaluating their contribution to ESG and CSV.
Specifically, Terumo will be introducing “Future Corporate Value Targets” as a new performance evaluation index for Executive Officers, which will be reflected in their compensation. Future Corporate Value Targets will be set for each Executive Officer in line with the GS26 priority themes, including ESG and CSV. The achievement level of the targets will be evaluated by each owner of the GS26 priority themes, then authorized by the KPI Committee composed of Group Managing Executive Officers (GMEO) in Japan.
In April 2022, Terumo implemented a new management system for Executive Officers to enhance the Group's competitiveness on a global scale and to achieve GS26. With the new performance evaluation system taking place, Terumo will further strive towards GS26 and pursue growth globally.
