MITSUI-SOKO Group’s Sustainability
Materiality


Materiality
Based on its PURPOSE of “Empower society, encourage progress,” the Mitsui-Soko
Group identified
materiality with the aim of creating new value and achieving sustainable growth
for the Group and
for society through its business activities. We will promote initiatives for
these priority issues
and thereby contribute to achieving the goals of the eight SDGs related to our
business, while
realizing the sustainable enhancement of the Group’s corporate value.

Identification of Materiality
Based on the idea that materiality is viewed from the perspective of enhancing
corporate value, and
that solving social issues will lead to the creation of medium- to long-term
value for the Group, we
identified issues that have a major impact on the Group’s businesses and are
important for
stakeholders, especially shareholders and investors, as materiality in 2020.
STEP1
In addition to global indicators such as SDGs, GRI, and
ISO 26000, based on the Group’s
management policy and discussions at each meeting body,
we have comprehensively
extracted issues from both the perspective of resolving
social issues (creating
opportunities) and the perspective of risk through our
corporate activities
STEP2
With regard to the issues identified in STEP 1, we first
evaluated the “level of
importance for the Mitsui-Soko Group” from the
perspective of risks and opportunities in
terms of the Group’s businesses. Then, through daily
dialogue, we conducted interviews
with IR departments to ascertain the needs and
expectations of shareholders and
investors, and also assessed “the level of importance
for stakeholders” in the same
manner.

STEP3
Having discussed the important issues prioritized from
the importance assessment result
of STEP 2 with internal and external parties and
confirmed their validity, the material
issues were discussed and given final approval at
meetings of the MITSUI-SOKO HOLDINGS
Management Council and Board of Directors.

Improvement of our organization to achieve KPIs
In order to achieve KPIs, it is necessary to promote activities throughout the
group under
appropriate governance. For social and environmental KPIs, subcommittees have
been established as a
group-wide organization under the Sustainability Committee, and each
subcommittee is responsible for
developing and implementing KPI-related measures. Economic KPIs are incorporated
into various
measures, such as those related to sales and DX, and important matters that
contribute to management
are discussed at meetings of the Management Council.
Under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the progress of KPIs is regularly reported and monitored to identify issues and areas for improvement at the meetings of the Sustainability Committee and the Management Council. By strengthening the PDCA cycle, which leads to new measures, in this way, we accelerate group-wide efforts to achieve the KPIs.

Initiatives toward Materiality
The Group has identified three materialities for sustainable value creation. To
promote materiality
initiatives as Group-wide activities, we will set key performance indicators
(KPIs), establish
implementation systems, and strengthen the PDCA cycle.

with all our stakeholders and by
