Materiality (Fundamental Initiative)
Promising sustainable growth to their shareholders, engaging in various business activities, whilst working towards a sustainable global environment and society.
For our stakeholders and Vision, it is important to specify the materiality (fundamental issue) and to actively tackle them.
The slogan "Symbiotic Growth" is the highest priority of the materiality and the guideline for all business-related activities.
To be able to achieve this symbiotic growth agenda, a materiality of fundamental activities and a materiality of value creation were created.
Fundamental Activities（Negative・Issues to be Controlled）ー Social Demands ー
As a company we must continuously and steadily grow, for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
However, the reality is that many of our businesses have a negative impact on the environment and society, such as greenhouse gas emissions.
Therefore, we are trying to find a solution on how to mitigate negative impacts while still being engaged in our regular business.
Decarbonized Society and Environmental Protection Initiatives (E)
Many businesses within a company unintentionally contribute to environmental destruction, by emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for current technology to eliminate all these negative factors.
Therefore, we are working on our businesses to become decarbonized and to protect our society and the environment, whilst eliminating as many negative factors as possible.
