Sustainability at ENECHANGE<\/h2>\n\n

As a company in the energy industry, where structural reform is essential for a sustainable society, and as a category leader in the energy tech sector, the Group actively invests in people and future energy technologies to make a positive impact on the energy industry and the decarbonised society that lies ahead. We want to be a positive influence on the energy industry and the decarbonised society that lies ahead. With this in mind, we have developed a materiality map for ESG and disclosed specific initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Creating our materiality assessment <\/h2>\n\n

\n 1 Extracting material topics <\/span>\n<\/h3>\n\n

Based on international indices such as SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), GRI Standards, and SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), and through analysis of our external environment and feedback from our stakeholders, we extracted key, material issues that are highly relevant to our management to help improve our corporate value.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n 2 Organize material topics through dialogue with stakeholders<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n\n

We gathered information on the expectations of our company through discussions with shareholders, investors, and key partners. We also gathered information on the expectations of our employees through the results of our regular employee surveys. Through these dialogues, we organized the material topics that arose.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n 3 Identification and positioning of material topics by management<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n\n

Through discussions at meetings of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, we assessed the relevance of the identified material topics to our corporate strategy and identified issues to be addressed on a priority basis. As an energy tech company that promotes innovation in the energy industry, our goal is to transform the energy industry as a whole through the provision of cutting-edge technology services to energy companies that are required to change rapidly in order to realize a decarbonized society. Hence, with regards to ESG, our core business activities are in the environment (\u201cE\u201d) area, and we regard this as important for both our stakeholders and our company.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \"\"\n<\/picture>\n\n\n \n \"\"\n<\/picture>\n\n\n \n \"\"\n<\/picture>\n\n
