*Materiality review meeting

In the process of setting materialities, it is important that we evaluate and verify the social issues to be tackled as we objectively consider not only the importance to our Company but also the importance to stakeholders. Dexerials held a materiality review meeting by the three in-company standing officers, the external Director of Dexerials, and, as an external expert, Kentaro Noda (Professor of Business Design at Rikkyo University Graduate School). At the materiality review meeting, there was an exchange of opinions from specialist and objective perspectives alongside analyses of the social situation around Dexerials in connection to the social issues in which Dexerials should be engaged in the medium-to-long terms from among the selected social issues.
