Materiality Review
Since we identified our materiality in May 2020, changes have occurred in the external environment that could affect the Calbee Group’s sustainability management. They include the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread declarations of carbon neutrality, the importance of natural capital, as well as the growing focus on human rights issues resulting from those changes.
We started to review materiality in June 2022, and in December 2022, we re-identified five materiality issues and 13 priority themes in the Sustainability Committee, and we have since implemented initiatives.

- Materiality identification / review process

Newly identified materiality
Materiality identification / review process
To re-identify materiality, we went through the following stages in conducting reviews:
Step 1: Internally review KPI progress
We conducted interviews with each of the subcommittees involved in the re-identification of materiality. We compiled a range of key issues, views and ideas from the subcommittee members, including general managers and staff members charged with tasks, and collated data based on various themes.
Step 2: Analyze external evaluations
We examined the literature on changes in the external environment that may affect sustainability, so as to keep up to date with the latest developments. Then, we took into consideration the impact that the changes might have on the food industry, checked our findings against the data collected in Step 1, and identified social issues that are highly relevant to the Calbee Group.
Step 3: Review the Materiality Map
In order to review the Materiality Map, we took into consideration the results of the analysis of external evaluations conducted in Step 2, and re-evaluated each of the social issues identified based on their importance to stakeholders ジャック ポット メダル ゲームo Calbee, which are indicated on the vertical and horizontal axes, respectively,
