Materiality Identification Process
STEP01 Rough understanding of social issues and their impact on our group (FY2022)
-
We referred to various ESG guidelines on global issues and real estate industry issues (such as the GRI Standards and the Practical Guidance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism's Study Group for Promoting ESG Investment to Address Social Issues in the Real Estate Sector) as well as the SDGs and other frameworks to gain a broad understanding of social issues and we identified 64 social issues.
-
We organized these issues based on their relevance to us and our business and their impact on us and our impact on them.
STEP02 Sort-out of more specific social issues and implementation of internal survey (FY2023)
-
Based on the two axes of impact on the Group and impact on society and environment, we combined the organized social issues into 15 key issues.
-
For these 15 key issues, we conducted a survey (with the participation of Sustainability Committee members and Group company management) to sort out more concretely the opportunities and risks for the Group and the opportunities and risks for society and to identify the material issues the Group should address as a priority.
STEP03 Dialogue with internal and external stakeholders (FY2023)
-
We reported the aggregated survey results to the Sustainability Committee for discussion.
-
We asked third-party experts (CSR Design Green Investment Advisory, Co., Ltd.) for their opinion on the aggregated results and our proposed materiality.
-
We prepared a materiality proposal based on the third-party expert advice.
STEP04 Identification of material issues (FY2023)
-
We identified materiality for the Tosei Group.
-
Following deliberations by the Sustainability Committee and Directors, the Management Meeting determined materiality for the Tosei Group upon confirming through discussion the comprehensiveness and validity of the themes which the Group should address.
STEP05 Review of materiality as appropriate (FY2024-)
-
We will review our materiality whenever there is a change in the social situation or our business environment or whenever we update out management strategy, etc.
