Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (THERS) has published "Tokai National Higher Education and Research System INTEGRATED REPORT 2021", the first integrated report to be issued by a national university corporation with a system of one corporation and multiple universities.
This report has been prepared with an awareness of the background of the corporate integration of Gifu University and Nagoya University, the purpose of the integration, the vision and strategy set forth at the time of the integration, and the goals of the integration.
In addition, while integrated reports issued by public corporations generally contain less information on business continuity than those of corporations, this report is designed to be understandable to general investors based on the eight content elements required by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Framework, including an analysis of risks and opportunities, the impact of the external environment on business operations, business strategies, and the impact of the integration on business operations. We aimed to create value creation stories based on an analysis of risks and opportunities, the impact of the external environment on business operations, business strategy, and output/outcome consistency.
We will continue to enhance the content of the report to ensure that as many people as possible understand the value creation of THERS, while incorporating the opinions of not only university-related personnel but also a wide variety of stakeholders.
