Basic Policy on Sustainability
Our vision (philosophy) is “Towards a world overflowing with ‘I want to make this happen!’” To achieve this, the UNISOL Group has formulated its Basic Policy on Sustainability, which aims to balance both economic and social value.
(1) Achieve harmony and coexistence with the environment
We believe that the environment is an asset shared by all humankind, and we will strive to respond to climate change issues and conserve resources by visualizing and reducing the factors in our various business processes that could contribute to environmental impacts.
Corresponding materiality: reducing environmental impacts in our business activities
(2) Support sustainability in the manufacturing industry
We aim to be our customers’ first choice as a “solution partner” with unique ideas, proactively addressing the various social issues that manufacturing sites face, such as the diminishing labor force caused by Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population, and the challenge of responding to evolving technologies.
Corresponding materiality: improving productivity through proposals for automation and labor-saving for production equipment and construction sites
(3) Realize a secure, safe, and comfortable society
We will promote business activities that take into account the security, safety, and comfort of not only our business partners, but also end users, by developing a stable supply system for our products and merchandise and applying cutting-edge technologies such as IoT.
Corresponding materiality: a secure, safe, and stable supply system for products and merchandise
(4) Increase work motivation, and promote growth and social contribution
By recognizing the importance of respecting human rights and practicing diversity management that emphasizes the individuality of each employee, we will develop human resources who are motivated to work, can grow autonomously, and contribute to society.
Corresponding materiality: promotion of diversity & inclusion
(5) Promote fair and honest corporate activities
Guided by our corporate philosophy and as a public instrument for the benefit of society, we will abide by all laws and regulations, our code of conduct, and the spirit thereof, and promote compliance practices with a strong sense of ethics. We will also aim to continuously improve our corporate value by undertaking activities to properly manage internal and external business risks.
Corresponding materiality: strengthening our risk management and crisis management systems

*1Within the merchandise and services covered by the UNISOL Group, we classify sales of environmentally friendly merchandise and services, as well as those concerned with the fields of automation and labor-saving, as “sustainability-contributing sales” (calculated on a non-consolidated basis) and the proportion of net sales Company-wide for which they account as the “sustainability-contributing sales ratio.” Numerical targets are set for these in relation to our materialities in the categories of reducing environmental impacts in our business activities and of improving productivity through proposals for automation and labor-saving for production equipment and construction sites.

Materiality identification process
We have identified materialities from both the perspective of the UNISOL Group and that of our stakeholders.
| Step 1 Long-listing of issues from global guidelines |
Social issues related to the current business of the UNISOL Group were long-listed using international guidelines such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). |
|---|---|
| Step 2 Short-listing of issues |
Our Sustainability Committee Secretariat identified workplace issues among the social issues long-listed in Step 1 and organized them into 17 potential priority issues grouped under five themes. |
| Step 3 Selection of priority issues based on impact analysis |
The 17 potential priority issues were arranged by their degree of importance based on our general sustainability policy and five priority issues were identified. |
| Step 4 Confirmation of issue relevance from Group perspective |
The Sustainability Committee deliberated on the relevance of the selected issues to the UNISOL Group after considering the opinions of external experts, etc., and reported to the Board of Directors. |
