Process for Identifying Material Issues

The Ryohin Keikaku Group identifies its material issues (materiality) through the following process. In March 2026, we reviewed some of our material issues due to social demand as well as changing market and business conditions.

  1. Identify material issues from international sustainability disclosure guidelines, such as the SASB Standards and CSRD topics.

  2. Evaluate the level of importance for Ryohin Keikaku and for stakeholders respectively and set priorities.

  3. Based on the opinions we received from external experts during our dialogue regarding the promotion of our ESG management, we identified five material issues (materiality).

  4. The validity of the material issues was reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
