The Group has identified key issues (materialities) to be addressed as priorities through our business activities in response to issues facing us and society.Based on efforts aimed at these material issues, we will be contributing to the realization of a sustainable society and aim to improve corporate value.
The materiality identification process
In identifying materialities, we conducted examination primarily through the Sustainability Promotion Preparation Office (managed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board), the predecessor of the current Sustainability Committee. We first identified and organized targets of the SDGs, associating these with social issues that should be addressed by the Group's businesses. We next evaluated and classified the importance of each identified issue, created materiality suggestions based on the results, and held discussions within the Sustainability Promotion Preparation Office to identify the materialities.
Since then, the Sustainability Committee, reorganized from the Sustainability Promotion Preparation Office, has led examination, planning, and progress management for measures aimed at solving issues.
