Identification process
To improve the effectiveness of its Purpose-driven management and contribute to achieving the SDGs, FineToday Group redefined its 8 Material Issues and updated 16 initiatives in 2024 to better reflect international sustainability standards and guidance. We will periodically review and revise our sustainability activities as necessary in accordance with the trends in the international community and changes in the business environment.
Key points of this revision
- The previous Material Issues, which were established prior to the company gaining manufacturing capabilities, were changed to reflect the company’s status as a consumer goods manufacturer.
- We referred to the material issues set forth by Japan Cosmetic Industry Association to aid in identifying the characteristics of the FineToday Group and issues specific to the industry.
- Material Issues were linked to the medium- to long-term goals, and new initiatives were set in line with the actual status of our business activities.
