GRI Materiality Analysis
Shimizu performed an analysis of materiality based on GRI standards to extract key CSR topics. The analysis was performed from two perspectives: The impact on stakeholder evaluation and decision-making, and the degree of economic, environmental, and social impact the organization has.
Results of materiality analysis as follows:
The impact on stakeholder evaluation and decision-making on the vertical axis shows the impact on shareholders and investors, recruits, and customers. The degree of economic, environmental, and social impact the organization has on the horizontal axis shows the impact on employee motivation (corporate culture), economic aspects, and medium- to long-term risks.
