▪︎ Materiality Issues

KISCO conducts an annual materiality analysis to identify issues of critical importance to our business. Items that are identified are incorporated into our business planning. We analyzed industry trends, international sustainable management standards, domestic ESG indicators, and constructed a significant issue pool through media research, benchmarking with similar industries, and reviewing internal conditions. We then selected the most significant issues by gathering opinions from management and other internal stakeholders.
▪︎ Materiality Issues Assessment Process

▪︎ Definition of stakeholders
KISCO’s stakeholders include both internal stakeholders, such as employees and management, and external stakeholders related to KISCO’s business activities, such as customers, partner companies, and shareholders.
