The process of identifying materiality

 

Selection of potential key issues

Based on important social issues referenced from standards such as GRI, SASBY, ISO 26000, and the SDGs, the key issues are selected from challenges faced by the industry we are involved in, our group's management philosophy and key initiatives, as well as megatrends.

Discussion and arrangement of key issues
By aligning the selected key issues with the guidelines of the mid-term management plan and business initiatives, and through internal discussions, we will organize the key issues from the perspective of both socially important issues and those critical to our group.

Verification from the perspective of stakeholders

Verify the classified and organized key issues from the perspective of stakeholders' purposes

Approval resolution
The extracted key issues are grouped from the perspectives of ESG and management strategy. Through multiple executive discussions, the direction of initiatives for each material issue is confirmed, and the materiality of our company is resolved at the executive committee meeting and the board of directors.
