Materiality

We will contribute to realizing a sustainable society by working on three priority themes: the Environment, Diversity and Inclusion, and Community Contribution.

The Basic Policy of Our Priority Themes

Three Priority Themes

We have established the Environment, Diversity and Inclusion, and Community Contribution as the three priority themes (those with materiality) of our CSR. These themes have a strong association with the priority issues that we have focused on so far (environmental conservation, community contribution, employment of the disabled).

We have reconfirmed the background and importance of these three themes and have clarified the future direction for scaling up our initiatives on a broader scale. In addition, we will place emphasis on these themes, as we believe they are directly linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Materiality Determination Process

STEP 1	Narrow down from social perspective
STEP 2	Assess from business activity perspective
STEP 3	Executives verify suitability
STEP 4	Materiality determined

Three Priority Themes Defined

Environment	Because environmental conservation is a duty for our operations, we advocate “consideration for the environment” and “efficient manufacturing processes lead to environment-friendly manufacturing.” Furthermore, we maintain the attitude that it is unthinkable for our operational activities not to include environmental conservation activities.
Diversity and Inclusion	The basis of our thinking on Diversity and Inclusion is that the integrated strength of personnel with diverse backgrounds and values—whether in terms of gender, age, nationality, or other—is the driving force behind corporate growth. Of course, employment of the disabled is also included in this theme. At the same time, we will do our utmost for all these employees by providing personnel training and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for them.
Community Contribution	A good relationship with the community is essential for sustainable business. Therefore, we believe it is important to engage with local communities to gain their trust and appreciation. We will continue to actively participate in local activities, and also provide support for the disadvantaged and for human resource development in the communities we serve.

The Basic Policy of Our Priority Themes

In order to further clarify the direction of our CSR activities, we have determined a basic policy for each of our priority themes. Furthermore, we have identified corporate governance as the foundation of the core elements of our CSR and are positioning and developing it within the framework of our CSR
