Materiality
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 SDGs and associated 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
Step 2
Create short list of
materiality
issues
Step 3
Pick priority materiality
issues
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.
Create short list of materiality issues
Select issues based on importance from stakeholder perspective as well as importance for CRE Group.
Pick priority materiality issues
Discuss and approve content of identified materiality at a meeting of top-level management.
Identified Materiality
We organized identified materiality issues by ESG category: Environment, Social or Governance.
Materiality and approaches to deal with materiality will be reviewed in conjunction with various
factors, including global trends on sustainability and business progress.
