Materiality
Materiality Identification Process
In order to effectively promote SDGs/ESG initiatives set forth in the basic strategy of the current medium-term management plan, NSD identified materiality items in the following process. In identifying materiality, we carried out the process with the advice of outside experts, based on the two perspectives of "importance for stakeholders" and "importance for the Group."
- Step 1: List issues facing the NSD Group
Issues and the voices of each stakeholder (shareholders, customers, employees, etc.) that each department or affiliated company should deal with are identified by means of questionnaires and interviews.
- Step 2: Create materiality proposal
While receiving advice from a third party (external expert), each materiality item is prioritized and organized in the form of a map.
- Step 3: Verify the validity of the materiality proposalThe Sustainability
Management Committee takes the lead in discussing the validity of content and priorities of each item of materiality.
- Step 4: Identify materiality
Final decision after deliberation by the Board of Directors.
