Among others, the Sustainability Council is delegated authority to identify and assess sustainability-related risks and opportunities.The Sustainability Council consists of the president and CEO and the executive directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and is chaired by the president and CEO. The assessment of sustainability-related risks and opportunities deliberated by the Sustainability Council and the progress of related goals and initiatives are reported to the Executive Committee for deliberation as part of group-wide risk management.(1) Identification of issuesWhile operating companies often prefer to develop systems in-house, we recognize that barriers to successful in-house system development at non-tech companies are high, given social conditions such as technological innovation in generative AI and the rapid decline in the working-age population. In order to resolve these issues, we interviewed each department to determine what materiality issues should be selected for Simplex Group, and extracted all possible issues.(3) Discussions at Executive Committee, Sustainability Council, etc.The appropriateness of these evaluations is discussed at Management Committees and the Sustainability Council, and materiality issues determined to be important from a management’s perspective are selected.In addition, the Board of Directors receives a semi-annual report, which enables effective supervision by the Board of Directors. Based on these reports, the Board of Directors formulates strategies for the entire group, which are reflected in the medium-term business plan, risk management policies, and business strategies.At the same time as the process of identifying materiality issues, the Group also identifies the risks and opportunities associated with these issues and establishes a policy for responding to them. Specifically, each department responds to each materiality issue on an individual basis and, depending on the importance and expertise of the case, the status of these responses Ultimately, the Board of Directors, including outside directors who are experts in various fields such as management and law, hold discussions and determines materiality issues for Simplex Group.(2) Determination of importanceFirst, the materiality issues are divided into two categories: business materiality issues, which are issues to be addressed in the normal course of business, and management foundation materiality issues, which are issues that are linked to promoting business and strengthening the management foundation. Then, we evaluate based on two aspects: importance to the Simplex Group and importance to stakeholders, including our clients, business partners, shareholders and investors. In assessing these issues, we refer to domestic and international standards such as the Guidance for Collaborative Value Creation and the SASB Standard*, and select items that are important for both categories, as well as items that are important as social issues even if they are important for only one of them＊ Sustainability Accounting Standards Board(4) Discussion and decisions by the Board of Directorsare monitored by the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, the Information Risk Management Committee, and the Project Review Committee.In some cases, these bodies issue directions to implement countermeasures directly, thereby ensuring effective management.In parallel with this process, each department conducts a bottom-up risk assessment from the viewpoint of likelihood of occurrence and business impact, and individual countermeasures are implemented for those cases determined to be of high importance(5) Feedback from stakeholdersWe undertake timely reviews of materiality issues we highlight, taking into account changes in social conditions and the internal environment, as well as feedback from our clients, business partners, shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders.35Importance to stakeholdersissuesgovernanceProcess of identifying materiality issuesRisk Management
