Eleven Important Issues (Materiality)

Materiality Formulation Process

Takara Group formulated the Takara Group Sustainability Policy based on the recognition that it is necessary to take greater initiatives to resolve various social issues if we are to continue to achieve the creation of social value through business activities into the future.
The Takara Group Sustainability Policy takes up eleven important issues (materiality), including “Safety and Reliability,” from among the social issues surrounding the Group, and lays out initiative policies for each one, taking into account the expectations of stakeholders and the impact on the Group’s business.
