Materiality
Materiality matrix
The 24 materiality factors were mapped according to the two axes of “degree of impact on society” and “degree of impact on the company” to create a materiality matrix. The 11 items shown in the top right domain were identified as materiality issues.
2022 Review
All Directors and Operating Officers, including Outside Directors, in the Sustainability Committee, which is chaired by the President, participated in conducting the materiality review based on the FY2022 actual results for each materiality issue. Two meetings of the Committee were held to confirm the FY2022 results and set the goals for FY2023. As a result of the review, the following changes were made.
(1)By directly referring to the materiality issues in the three prioritized business fields as “Contribute to the three prioritized business fields,” we clearly showed the relationship between our corporate vision and the 2025 Mid-Term Management Plan. As for contributions to the Electronics/IT field, due to the broad scope, we added “smart society” in parentheses to clarify the direction we are aiming for.
(2)As for the creation of a comfortable workplace and better performance of human resources, we set nine KPIs, compared to the three KPIs before the review.
| Three prioritized business fields | Before revision | After revision |
|---|---|---|
| Life/Healthcare | Contribute to medicine, medical care and health |
Contribute to the Life /Healthcare field |
| Environment/Energy | Contribute through environmentally-friendly products (reduction of environmental burden | Contribute to the Environment/Energy field |
| Electronics/IT | Contribute to smart society | Contribute to the Electronics/IT field (smart society) |

Targeting the three prioritized business fields, we will aim to offer new value by combining the core technologies we have cultivated through our diverse business development.
Strengthen the business foundation
As well as building a corporate culture that accepts diversity of values, we will appropriately identify changes in the environment and technological progress and enhance our resilience.
Promote responsible care activities
