Materiality Identification Process

Materiality (issues actively addressed through business)

Duskin assesses various social issues, including SDGs, in the context of the Duskin Group value chain and business model, and reviews them in response to changes in society.

Materiality identification process

We organized and analyzed the external environment from the perspectives of politics, economy, society, and technology, and identified risks and opportunities from the viewpoints of our various stakeholders (customers, franchisees, regional society, partners, employees, the global environment, shareholders, and investors). We positioned action measures for the identified risks and opportunities as materiality (important issues) and set specific efforts and KPIs with consideration given to the perspective of creation value and SDGs.

Reviewing materiality

Within a rapidly changing environment, we aim for improvement in corporate value via the promotion of CSV (Creating Shared Value) efforts aimed at resolving economic, societal, and environmental issues through our business activities and the strengthening of governance that mutually actualizes those three values (economic value, societal value, and environmental value). To this end, we reviewed materiality with strong CSR elements to date, advanced the transforming of this into materiality that aims for CSV value creation, and, through deliberation in the Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors for each creation value that also took contribution to SDGs into consideration, we finalized our materiality array on June 2021.
