Key Issues (Materiality)

In 2018, in order to realize sustainable management, we investigated and examined the importance of addressing various social issues from the perspective of all stakeholders, including TOREI's business, employees, and suppliers, and identified five key issues (materiality).

Steps to identify key issues (materiality)

Based on the "SDG Compass," we have identified key issues (materiality) for solving social problems and contributing to the SDGs.

  1. STEP01

    With SDGs
    Organizing relationships
    This document outlines the relationship between TOREI's business activities and the 17 SDGs and 169 targets (opportunities and risks in business activities).

  2. STEP02

    Issue extraction
    We identified and grouped the challenges necessary to achieve sustainable management.

  3. STEP03

    Importance Assessment
    (Identifying materiality)
    Based on the issues identified in Step 2, their importance is determined based on factors such as the relationship with stakeholders and the degree of impact. As a result, we identified five material issues that we should focus on.

  4. STEP04

    Goal setting and
    Planning and Approval
    For each identified material issue, action targets and plans are formulated and approved by the management body.

Five key issues (materiality)

Following the process of identifying key issues (materiality), among the five key issues selected, "Sustainable use and procurement of fishery resources" is positioned as the most important issue that must be addressed as it is fundamental to the continuity of our business.

Numerical targets related to sustainable management

In 2021, in order to clearly demonstrate TOREI's approach to sustainable management and to promote initiatives with shared goals, we formulated "Numerical Targets Related to Sustainable Management."
The numerical targets are a simplified version of the "TOREI Group's Business Philosophy" and "Materiality," with some of these elements being formulated as goals.
Some of our numerical targets include TFL (*), and we are promoting sustainable management within the TOREI Group.
