Management of sustainability

Materiality analysis (Material issues)

For the formulation of the Mid-term Management Plan (FY2022 – 2024), we undertook the identification and analysis of issues of material importance to both business and sustainability. This materiality analysis augments our ability to respond to changes in the external environment surrounding our company and risks to our business. In order to create a positive cycle of ESG issue resolution and earnings improvements in accordance with the growth strategy in the Mid-term Management Plan, we are reflecting our activities in the high-priority areas identified by our materiality analysis into our growth strategies.
