The Group believes that helping to resolve social issues through its business activities contributes to building a sustainable society and, in turn, leads to sustained growth for the Group and heightened corporate value. While taking into account such factors as the operating environment, management status, and business stage, the Group promotes activities for achieving sustainability through collaboration and cooperation with all stakeholders. Based on these concepts, material issue candidates are identified by referencing international guidelines and stakeholder perspectives. The Board of Directors then evaluates their significance for society and management. Social issues closely related to the Groupʼs business are then designated as material issues and reflected in the management strategy. Following resolutions by the Board of Directors in August 2022 and August 2023, the Group has been promoting initiatives linked to its long-term targets for FY2029.
