The Process of Compiling

We place great importance on the process of compiling this report. The process is designed with the aim of improving transparency and reliability as a company, in the interests of accountability (with regard to external parties), and tying in with promoting the Group's sustainable management.
 

  • Improving Transparency and Reliability
    The seven material issues that we have assessed, validated and identified from the dual perspectives of the impacts of the Group’s business activities on the environment and society (impact materiality) and the financial impacts of environmental and social issues on the Group (financial materiality) serve as the fundamental framework for our sustainability activities and reporting. As the environment is constantly changing around us, not least in terms of stakeholder trends, we review our material issues on a regular basis. We also keep a close eye on matters of interest to our stakeholders, their expectations and business conditions, so that we can check and adjust the contents of our reports in precise detail. To keep track of matters of interest to our stakeholders, their expectations and other related trends, we gather information from individual departments, based on sources such as questionnaires from ESG investors, responses to reader questionnaires, and intensive internal interviews prior to the compilation of the current report. We hold Stakeholder Meetings to discuss topics of particular importance. Meetings also help to establish a clear understanding of social issues, from various different angles, and to examine details of Group initiatives.
    We also obtain an “independent assurance,” to assist in comprehensively evaluating the contents of our reported figures against international requirements in an effort to improve transparency and reliability.
  • Promoting Sustainability Activities Based on Communication
    We make the most of communication activities, as part of the process of compiling this report, to improve our ability to promote sustainability activities, by establishing a shared understanding and raising awareness of changes in the external environment for example. We conduct hearings with the relevant head office corporate functions and business divisions as needed, and not only coordinate the reporting, but also exchange opinions and share information about matters of interest or concern to stakeholders, issues for the future, and the direction of our activities. Asking relevant departments to produce articles for this report, and then exchanging opinions regarding the draft report once it has been compiled, enables departments to review their sustainability activities from an external perspective and helps to develop a shared understanding of their strategic significance.
