The Net One Group aims to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society while generating sustainable growth for the Group by rendering ICT services that create both social and economic value

　　In pursuit of this objective, we are practicing sustainability management focused on our material priorities. In fiscal 2023, we largely achieved the annual non-financial KPI targets associated with our four material priorities. However, we also identified challenges we must address when examining whether our material priority-related activities truly contribute to the creation of social and economic value and the realization of a sustainable society.

　　Thanks to the efforts of our Sustainability Committee, which is now in its second year, our employees have begun to recognize that the growth of our business contributes to society, and they have become able to communicate this reality to our customers. We recognize that putting our Purpose into practice will be essential as we aim to achieve our material priority-related KPI targets for fiscal 2030. Accordingly, improving employee motivation and performance will be extremely important, and as a corporate group, we must prioritize investment in human capital first and foremost. Next in line is stakeholder engagement; we firmly believe we can further develop our sustainability management by distributing profits and value to our stakeholders, winning their support and approval, and obtaining feedback through which we can evaluate our material priorities and objectives.

　　The challenge of ensuring the societal impact of our efforts can be seen and felt will be critical over the long term. As we move forward with discussions regarding our next Medium-Term Business Plan, we recognize the importance of further aligning our business measures with our material priorities. In particular, we view human capital as both a persistent priority and a theme warranting our focused attention. Another core mission of ours is to analyze stakeholder views and incorporate this feedback into both our material priorities and our next Medium-Term Business Plan. We also view fiscal 2024 as critical for ensuring our material priority-related activities genuinely facilitate the achievement of social and economic value targets laid out under our current Medium-Term Business Plan. As we aim to achieve a sustainable society that we help sustain as a valued member, we will continue to intensify the efforts we undertake in pursuit of our objectives.
