Identified materialities to achieve our ambitions
When we formulated our value creation story in 2021, we established the Seven Promises to promote sustainable management.
During the period of our 4th Medium-Term Business Plan (MTBP), we formulated and implemented materiality and KPIs in addition to the Seven Promises. To more rigorously promote sustainable management, in conjunction with the formulation of our 5th MTBP, we have revised our Seven Promises to reflect materiality itself as well as refreshed our KPIs. Based on these Seven Promises and KPIs, we are working to engage in constructive dialogue with all stakeholders.

We will develop businesses that help resolve social issues.

-
We will practice management transparency with high ethical standards.
-
We will provide a lively work environment that motivates and rewards diverse human resources.
-
We will promote responsible supply chain management.
-
We will strengthen our earning power.
