Under our corporate statement “Dream up the future”, the NRI Group has made its mission to envision and realize new paradigms and to be a trusted partner for mutual growth. Furthermore, the NRI Group is dedicated to achieving a “Society We Innovate” in the form of a “prosperous society that nourishes potential and brings dreams to life”, a “sustainable society that connects knowledge to treat the planet wisely”, and a “resilient society that promotes safety and security”, with this goal being at the heart of our corporate philosophy.

As stated in V2030 which was announced in April 2023, we are taking a unified approach to creating a sustainable society and to achieving the NRI Group’s growth strategy. Based on this, we have identified a total of eight materiality issues across three tiers as priority themes to be addressed as we head towards 2030, specifically “Value Creation”, “Value Creation Capital”, and “Management Basis (ESG: Environment, Society, and Corporate Governance)”, and these issues occupy a central place in the NRI Group’s Sustainability Strategy (Fig. 1).

In identifying these issues, we referred to the relevant international standards and guidelines and requests from ESG ratings agencies, and sought consistency with our corporate philosophy and growth strategy, and the opinions of outside directors and experts, as we considered these issues from the perspective of both their impact on our company financially, and the expectations and needs of our stakeholders regarding environment and society. To promote these themes as the pillars of our materiality, we have set forth our goal for 2030, as well as established key metrics (materiality KPI) and target values under our Medium-term Management Plan (2023-2025), which we will work steadily to achieve (Fig. 2).
