Materiality Issues
In line with the Mid-term Business Plan (started in fiscal 2025) for fiscal 2027, after reviewing the status of the value chain surrounding the Group’s activities, its impact on the environment and society, and other issues to be taken into account, the Tokyo Seimitsu Group has revised its materiality as follows. It is composed of 6 themes and 23 material issues, aiming to "contribute to the realization of a prosperous society" through "contributing to a sustainable society" and "earning the trust and confidence of stakeholders." We will continue to revise our materiality as necessary and appropriate.
