In 2020, criteria necessary for sustainability was introduced so that our products and businesses can continue to solve social issues. In addition, a “premium frame” was set for products with particularly high social problem-solving capabilities and high profitability, and are developing measures to expand sales of those products by focusing management resources.
  Also, this award recognizes the company's management stance of striving for thorough risk management, its originality in visualizing impacts based on the rate of return to natural and social capital, and its transparency in disclosing details of the process to identify materiality.
