Areas of Materiality / Targets

The JACCS Group, under its Basic Policy on Sustainability, identified five materialities in fiscal 2022 to pursue the group's sustainable growth and solve environmental and social challenges through business activities.
Subsequently, in conjunction with the formulation of the medium-term business plan starting in fiscal 2025, we reviewed the materialities to clarify the issues to be addressed, taking into account changes in the group's external environment and progress in sustainability initiatives.

Conducted hearings twice a year in meetings on sustainability initiatives with headquarters general managers, compiling opinions on KPI progress, challenges, and future approach.

Investigated the latest trends in sustainability-related external environment changes. Also organized the company's initiatives based on ISO26000 standards.

Extracted items of high importance for both stakeholders and the JACCS Group, referencing the progress of initiatives from Step 1 and issues organized in Step 2.

Extracted key items for both stakeholders and the JACCS Group through the materiality map, and listened to opinions from external directors, institutional investors, and employees. Deliberations were held in the Sustainability Committee to reflect the group's important values (trust, reliability, and people as capital) and critical business matters (solving social issues, mutual growth in ASEAN) and the materiality review was resolved by the Board of Directors.

We have established initiatives based on five materiality areas and set targets for each as follows. Please note that some materiality areas include impacts on the environment and society that are difficult to measure quantitatively.

Based on five areas of materiality, the Company established initiatives and targets corresponding to each initiative. The Company set numerical targets as presented below, which it aims to achieve in the final year of the MOVE 70 three-year medium-term plan. Please note that the areas of materiality include some items for which it is difficult to quantitatively measure the degree of impact on the environment and society.
