Material Issues and its Identification Process

To achieve a sustainable future, we have formulated six material issues from the perspectives of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). These issues have been identified as priority themes that we should address by plotting the areas of focus that our company should tackle based on societal expectations and the importance of our business activities. This identification process also takes into account our corporate philosophy, business activities up until now, and strengths.

Action Goals

To achieve the six sustainability material issues, we have established specific action goals along with medium- to long-term targets.
We are committed to steadily implementing these goals, aiming to achieve the milestones set for the fiscal year ending March 2031, while regularly evaluating and revising our initiatives.
