SUSTAINABILITY

Material Issues

Specification of Materiality

The Direct Marketing MiX (DmMiX) Group (meaning both Group companies as a whole and specific Group companies; “the Company”) carried out an assessment of the social issues surrounding us and our stakeholders from the perspectives of both the impact on our business and the impact on stakeholders. As a result, we specified nine items of materiality and prioritized them in order of importance.

Based on the idea of double materiality, this materiality was approved and signed off by a meeting of the Board of Directors held in June 2022 after the gathering of opinions from the business divisions of the DmMiX Group, discussions in the Sustainability Committee, which includes outside members of the Board of Directors, and discussions with external stakeholders (knowledgeable persons).

Regarding the specified materiality, we have set key performance indicators and are promoting initiatives toward the solution of issues. In addition, in view of business and social changes, we carry out a review of our materiality every year.
