In identifying material issues in CSR, we first identified candidates using the ISO 26000 and GRI standards and trends among other companies.* We then narrowed down candidate issues using a biaxial assessment matrix, plotting the importance to stakeholders along one axis and the importance to the Tosoh Group along the other.
Based on this assessment, and after further deliberations at the CSR Committee meeting held in August 2018, we identified 18 key issues for achieving sustainable growth for the Tosoh Group and for society. We have also defined key performance indicators (KPIs) for the issues identified and set medium-term targets for our CSR activities and are working to achieve these targets.
