We have identified our materiality using the following methodology.

STEP1:Identify

We have identified issues for consideration from wide range of issues concerning economy, environment and society by referring to guidelines from GRI Standards and external evaluations (GRESB, DJSI, MSCI ESG, etc.)

STEP2:Prioritize

We determined nine issues to be material among the identified issues, for consideration by evaluating and ranking the potential impact on ADR and the level of stakeholder’s concern regarding the issues.

STEP3:Authorize

The nine issues that have been identified as material at our sustainability committee, have been authorized by our Representative Director as issues material to ADR’s initiatives in promoting sustainability.

STEP4:Review

In order to flexibly address to changing challenges, reflect stakeholders expectations and improve our disclosure transparency we will periodically review our materiality.
