The Takasago Group conducted the assessment of its material issues taking external opinions into consideration. The material issues, which are reviewed every year, are identified based on global trends, sustainability indexes and standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards and trends in our industry. Identified issues are discussed by the sustainability team and thoughts and opinions are exchanged with stakeholders. For the current materiality, we exchanged thoughts and opinions with women and labor unions. The draft of material issues is then brought to the corporate officers and the Board of Directors for further discussion and decision-making.

Through these actions, we address global issues and fulfill our corporate responsibilities as a member of society. This also helps enhance the corporate value of the Group over the long term.
