Materiality (priority issues)
Based on our management philosophy and the concept of sustainability, we identify issues where our business activities are highly relevant to social issues from the perspective of ESG.
We then designate those issues as materiality (priority issues), and select important themes to associate with them.
We associate specific materiality (priority issues) with SDGs and contribute to achieving SDGs via initiatives for resolving the materiality (priority issues).
We have set five sustainability-related indicators and targets and are working to achieve each.
In the future, we will consider and set new indicators and targets to enhance our sustainability efforts.
1.CO₂ emissions are for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
2.The aggregation period for paid leave days taken is from June 16, 2022, to June 15, 2023.
3.Indicators and targets other than "CO₂ emissions reduction" are subject only to KING JIM
Step 1: Identifying Social Issues
When identifying materiality (priority issues), we selected the social issues to consider based on international sustainability frameworks such as the GRI standards, SDGs, ISO26000, SASB, and the evaluation items of ESG ratings agencies. Step 2: Evaluating the Importance of Social Issues
When evaluating the importance of the selected social issues, we identified the issues with the highest priority for the King Jim Group based on A) level of demand/expectations from society and stakeholders and B) level of business impact. Step 3: Deciding Materiality (priority issues)
We identified the final materiality (priority issues) upon an investigation by external experts, and received approval by the board of directors. Step 4: Planning Action
We will periodically review the materiality (priority issues) in the future and aim to continuously improve corporate value via further integration with management strategy.
We then designate those issues as materiality (priority issues), and select important themes to associate with them.
We associate specific materiality (priority issues) with SDGs and contribute to achieving SDGs via initiatives for resolving the materiality (priority issues).
