Four Materialities (Key Issues)

Based on our Basic Sustainability Policy, the Osaka Soda Group has identified materiality (key issues) using the following identification process. We have established important factors for each of the four materialities of “providing social value through business,” “strengthening the business base,” “developing human resources,” and “strengthening CSR activities” and incorporated them into specific initiatives.

Process of identifying materiality
  1. STEP 1 Extract business activities that the Group contributes to and challenges to continuing sustainable growth
  2. STEP 2 Extract issues that do not overlap with Step 1 from the ISO26000/GRI standards as issues required by society
  3. STEP 3 Identify issues from the perspective of both stakeholders and the Group
  4. STEP 4 Group the identified issues and extract materiality
  5. STEP 5 Identify SDG materiality at management meetings
