About the Formulation of the New Action Plan

The Daifuku Group formulated the CSR Action Plan in 2014, as a medium-term plan that sets up targets according to the six initiatives and clarifies the actual content of the initiatives. On this occasion, we are making revisions to deepen the CSR initiatives to coincide with the start of Value Innovation 2020, the new medium-term business plan.

Action Plan and Determining Materiality

Daifuku started the ESG Project in November 2013, and then in June 2014 we established and implemented the activities of Daifuku’s CSR and the CSR Action Plan, which make up the core of our various CSR initiatives. In April 2017, in line with the beginning of our new medium-term business plan, we revised the previous Action Plan.

Determining Materiality

Step 1 Identify issues

We identified issues surrounding our business environment based on the general principles of international guidelines such as GRI*2 and ISO 26000*3 as well as the UN Global Compact, together with both the underlying and apparent demands of various stakeholders including our customers, investors, local communities, and employees.

Step 2　Determine materiality

For the issues identified in Step 1, we evaluated “the impact on stakeholders” and “the impact on our business” according to our original criteria and determined 15 issues as “materiality” that impacted both of these factors beyond a certain level.

Step 3　Verify material aspects and set KPIs

We verified the progress of our efforts toward the 10 material aspects and revamped them as necessary, while checking whether our approach to issues are keeping with changes in the social environment outside the Company. We then set KPI*2 for the material aspects and began activities after setting quantitative targets.

Materiality

For the 15 material aspects determined in Step 2, we examined and revised the validity of selecting those issues according to necessity, based on the progress of our initiatives or the change of the social environment surrounding our business. We set up KPI*4 for all material aspects and carry out initiatives after setting up targets so that it is possible to judge the progress of each material aspect.
