Materiality formulation process
Regarding materiality, we work with third-party organizations to determine it so that we do not become complacent.
-
STEP1
Internal evaluation of international guideline items
(stratified by importance to us)From the viewpoint of importance to our company, we interviewed related divisions in our company regarding a total of 37 items, 36 items from GRI and 1 item from SDGs, and scored them (three-grade evaluation).
-
STEP2
External evaluation of international guideline items
(stratified by the degree of interest of our stakeholders)Adding points to the issues that the external evaluation organization pays attention to and the number of companies that consider items important among the four benchmark companies, we stratified them into three grades (evaluated by a third-party organization).
-
STEP3
Confirmation of important issues (materiality)
Items that are located in the “particularly high area” of importance to our company and degree of interest of our stakeholders are judged to be the most important issues.
-
STEP4
Identification of important issues (materiality)
Five important themes and 11 important issues (14 issues were aggregated) have been identified.
