With the aim of identification of materiality, taking into consideration of the management policy based on corporate philosophy and code of conduct, the Company examined a wide range of issues, including SDGs and other various international frameworks, various issues focused on by ESG rating agencies such as MSCI and FTSE, and other companies' initiatives, and identified potential social issues that the Company should address.
(2) Collection of comments on the identified social issues and examination of their relevance The Company collected internal comments on the identified social issues at all levels (i.e., the management team, the Sustainability Committee, departments and groups, and employees), and conducted interviews with stakeholders and questionnaire surveys of external experts. Then, the Company analyzed those issues from the ESG perspective and examined their relevance.
(3) Examination of how important and comprehensive those issues are as those to be addressed by the Company
After further examining, at all internal levels, how important those social issues whose relevance the Company had examined are in terms of its long-term management and whether they are comprehensive and consistent with the issues facing society as a whole, the Company classified them into five themes and summarized them into 13 aspects of materiality.
(4) Identification of the Company's materiality
The Company identified its materiality through deliberation at the Management Meeting and the Board of Directors meeting.
