Value Creation Process and Materiality
Our Value Creation Process outlines how our Group generates value that will sustainably contribute to society and enhance our corporate value.
We have defined materiality (an essential element of this process) as referring to priority issues for creating value for society. We categorize materiality as either Business Materiality, which focuses on the creation of value through our business activities, or Fundamental Materiality, which is intended to build and strengthen the management foundation that supports these activities. By setting KPIs for each of these materialities and pursuing continuous improvement, we aim to achieve even greater value creation.
