LIXIL established its Impact Strategy—a cornerstone for executing the LIXIL Playbook—as the guiding strategy for all sustainability-related issues and initiatives.

Effective April 2026, we established the role of Chief Impact Officer (CIO). This aims to reinforce our executive structure, strengthen the alignment between our business strategies and the Impact Strategy, enhance employee engagement, and improve our internal and external appeal, thereby further strengthening the Impact Strategy. The Impact Strategy Committee, chaired by the CIO, the executive officer responsible for the Impact Strategy, plays a central role in advancing this strategy.

Committee members include executive officers and senior managers from corporate functions and business divisions. The Committee invites internal and external stakeholders, including external experts, to participate in meetings as needed, incorporating their valuable insights in order to advance the Impact Strategy. In principle, the Committee meets once a quarter, with additional meetings convened by the chair as needed.

The Impact Strategy Committee promptly reports on its discussions and deliberations to the Board of Executive Officers. Key updates to the Impact Strategy or material issues requiring further review and approval are submitted to the Board of Executive Officers for deliberation and resolution following discussion by the Impact Strategy Committee.

The Board of Directors approves the Impact Strategy developed by the Board of Executive Officers based on an assessment of its relevance and feasibility from the perspective of improving medium- to long-term corporate value. The Board of Directors receives a progress report on the Impact Strategy twice a year, overseeing its implementation by reviewing progress toward targets, identifying challenges, and discussing appropriate countermeasures. At LIXIL, we believe that the perspective of sustainability is an essential attitude or viewpoint that all directors should possess. The governance structure based on this philosophy enables us to respond quickly and appropriately to the evolving global social challenges surrounding our business. The outcomes and resolutions made by the Impact Strategy Committee are communicated by executive officers and senior managers responsible for strategy implementation to their respective divisions, in order to translate them into concrete initiatives.

At each Impact Strategy Committee meeting, the Global Sanitation & Hygiene Council, Environmental Strategy Council, and Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Council report progress on initiatives aligned with the three strategic pillars of the Impact Strategy. The Committee also engages in strategic discussions on other social and environmental issues, as well as information disclosures.

FYE2026 Key Agenda Items:

• Progress and KPI updates on the three strategic pillars
• ESG evaluation
• Human rights survey

As of April 2026
