We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through efforts in materiality.

To deepen our understanding of corporate social responsibility in the truest sense, that is, the contribution a company makes to sustainable social development by addressing social issues through business activities, and improve corporate value over the medium to long term, we strive, as a corporate group, to reinforce our approach to sustainability.

As part of this effort, we isolated issues in light of prevailing guidelines, including the 17 SDG categories and 169 targets. We evaluated the significance of selected issues from two perspectives—importance to stakeholders and importance to our own businesses—then identified materiality, and clarified themes that we, as the CRE Group, must prioritize.

The CRE Group will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through materiality-directed efforts.

Materiality Identification Process

Our materiality identification process is as described below. We will continue to carefully review identified materiality issues and promote effective methods to reach targets.

Step.1 Isolate social issues that the CRE Group should address

Consider issues already being addressed in the business and corporate activities undertaken by the CRE Group as well as forward-looking themes to be pursued, and reference various guidelines, including the 17 SDG categories and 169 targets, to isolate and coordinate social issue and management issue themes, such as SDGs and ESG, that require engagement.

Step.2 Create short list of materiality issues

Select issues based on importance from stakeholder perspective as well as importance for CRE Group.

Step.3 Pick priority materiality issues

Discuss and approve content of identified materiality at a meeting of top-level management.

Identified Materiality

Materiality and approaches to deal with materiality will be reviewed in conjunction with various factors, including global trends on sustainability and business progress.
