Materiality identification process
In order to identify materiality issues, we conducted a survey on social and industry trends, followed by a checklist based on international guidelines such as ISO 26000, to understand the current situation and sort out the sustainability issues surrounding the Group. We then mapped the selected candidate key issues on the two axes of "importance to society (stakeholders)" and "importance to the Group's business (earnings growth)," and narrowed them down to the nine most important issues to be prioritized.
Major KPIs
The Moriroku Group will formulate priority actions to be taken and KPIs for each action so as to address the nine key issues. First, we have formulated the following three items as the most important KPIs that the Group aims to achieve by 2030.
