Process of Defining Material Issues

Initiatives to Address Material Issues for Enhancing
Sustainable Corporate Value

TOK defined material issues as the starting point for its long-term initiatives for the attainment of the TOK Vision 2030, a 100-year company in 2040, and carbon neutrality in 2050. The Company has endeavored to address the material issues closely linked to the TOK Medium-Term Plan 2024.

Toward Achieving a Sustainable Future

TOK aims to become “The e-Material Global CompanyTM contributes to a sustainable future through chemistry” under the TOK Vision 2030 where diverse benefits will be realized through the semicon­ductor technologies of autonomous vehicles, AR/VR, remote medical care, remote agriculture, and remote construction projects with communication revolution (Beyond 5G) at the core.

The TOK Medium-Term Plan 2024 was formulated by backcasting from the Vision with the aim of acquiring abundant business opportunities pertaining to a sustainable future, while implementing countermeasures against the risks of the increasing severity of climate change, the spread of infec­tious diseases, and the surge in economic security issues.

The Company defined five TOK’s material issues aimed at the enhancement of sustainable corpo­rate value by handling risks and opportunities as listed above. TOK will increase the effectiveness of key initiatives and the KPI for each material issue by promoting a PDCA cycle in close linkage with the TOK Medium-Term Plan 2024.
