In considering the future of our Group on the occasion of establishing a new philosophy, our desire to actively contribute to the realization of a sustainable society not only through our own growth but also through our business activities was the underlying factor. Based on this belief, we have examined issues in terms of their significance, both for our stakeholders and for our Group, based on changes in the business environment and social trends related to sustainability, and identified materialities (important issues) to enable us to achieve a resolution of these issues.
Process to Identify Materialities
The following steps were taken to identify the materialities that we will focus on in order to maintain sustainable growth. The materialities identified will be reviewed on a regular basis in light of changes in the environment and business developments in the Group.

Materiality Initiatives
For the Group, engaging in the identified materialities is a way to contribute to achieving the SDGs, promote economic and social development while also supporting a sustainable global environment, and fulfill DJK’s philosophy in a tangible manner.
To achieve the vision (targets) set for each materiality, the operation of our environmental management system (EMS) reflects the themes that each business division will focus on to address social issues through its businesses and the management base themes that support sustainable growth. We have launched a system to manage these themes in our plan of action. Going forward, we will promote these themes through our unique framework linked to each materiality.
