Itoki's materiality
Materiality (vital issues)
At Itoki, we have defined materiality (important issues) in order to resolve various issues surrounding the WORK-Style and to realize our goals of "making society and people happy" and "making the company and employees happy." We review our materiality and priority themes as necessary in response to the expectations and requests of stakeholders and changes in the external environment.
Materiality Revision Process
2018: Identifying Itoki's materiality
The materiality we set out in 2018 was based on international guidelines such as ISO 26000, social issues, and stakeholder interviews, and involved identifying and mapping a wide range of issues, including ESG issues, from the perspectives of both risk and opportunity. We also took into consideration the opinions of external experts and held repeated internal discussions to evaluate and identify the issues.
2022: Reassessing materiality
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major changes in working styles, and the importance of human capital management, digital transformation, and responding to climate change has increased. In order to contribute to solving social issues that change year by year, we are reviewing our materiality for 2022.
In conducting its review, the company engaged in repeated dialogue with management and organized its key themes into two major materialities: "Making society and people happy" with the aim of creating value for society, and "Making the company and employees happy" with the aim of improving the company's corporate value.
2024: Reorganizing materiality
In conjunction with the formulation of our new medium-term management plan, "RISE TO GROWTH 2026," we re-discussed materiality with management and clarified the positioning of materiality as something that looks beyond the three-year medium-term management plan. We also refined the issues that we will address through our corporate activities from 10 priority themes to 6 priority themes.
Furthermore, from the perspective of integrating management and sustainability, we significantly reorganized the "materiality KPIs" that we had set previously. We consider the medium-term management plan to be a specific strategy for solving issues (materiality) that are of high importance from a long-term perspective, and we have made progress the same as the progress of the medium-term management plan, narrowing down the items subject to KPI management to points on which we will place greater emphasis.
Materiality, the 7 Flags of the New Medium-Term Management Plan, and ESG Strategy
The materiality themes are the vision Itoki aims for from a long-term perspective and are the cornerstone of our business activities. The specific strategies for achieving these themes are the 7 Flags and ESG strategies set out in the new medium-term management plan. Materiality and the new medium-term management plan are closely linked as shown below.
