Policy on Reporting Sustainability Activities
Editorial Policy and Selection of Reporting Contents
The Daigas Group reports on its efforts for the Group's material aspects as well as associated activities for improvement.
The Daigas Group deems that it is necessary for the Group to listen to people's voices sincerely, and conduct its business activities based on such voices, if it is to fulfill its corporate social responsibility (CSR).
In the Medium-Term Management Plan 2023, we positioned the period of the plan as a period for creating “value for a sustainable future” with our stakeholders and achieve further growth as a group that can help solve social issues in building a sustainable society, and selected “materiality” for enhancing and accelerating the practice of ESG management based on the concept of “Creating Value for a Sustainable Future.” The Daigas Group identified materiality by referring to the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards), a global standard for sustainability reports compiled by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), while taking into account current social issues and holding dialogue with outside experts.
This site, the Group explains the management situation regarding each materiality and the degree of implementation of relevant measures. The Group posts, as much as possible, activities other than those related to the materiality so that a full picture of the Group's CSR is made known to parties outside and inside the Group.
