In order to realize sustainable growth alongside customers and society, under "Implementing ESG Management", the policies of the 13th Medium-Term Management Plan, we defined the Takuma Group Materiality that are the important initiatives tackling through our business activities.
The Group has identified seven key issues (Materiality) and 19 issues that deserve to be given priority when being addressed through our business activities. We are pursuing initiatives to strengthen our business activities and management foundation for each of these materialities and issues.
We have established initiatives through our business activities and key performance indicators (KPIs), which serve as numerical targets for each Materiality. We use the KPIs to measure the extent to which our initiatives have been successful, and we review and reassess them as necessary.
We analyzed a variety of management issues that affect the company from the dual perspectives of the external and internal environment.
We compiled a list of 64 issues by analyzing the external environment from the standpoint of ISO 26000, GRI, SDGs, FTSE, DJSI indicators and requirements, and the internal environment from the standpoint of indicators provided by the Group's Management Principles, strategies, current initiatives, and other yardsticks.
We created a matrix organizing the 64 issues identified in Step 1 by analyzing and evaluating their importance for stakeholders and society on the vertical axis and their importance for the Group on the horizontal axis.
We then verified the suitability of the list through a process that included steps such as an internal exchange of views to narrow down the list of issues to 19 that deserved to be addressed by the Group.
Through discussions among members of the company's executive leadership, the following list of key issues to be addressed by the Group was finalized based on the 19 issues.
