At the same time, we undertake CSR activities to achieve prosperous coexistence with society. In order to clarify our stance of contributing to the global environment and social issues aggregated into the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through our corporate activities, establishing ESG management base was set as a key measure of the medium-term plan T-2021.CSR activities are overseen by the CSR Committee, which is led by the member of the Board responsible for the General Affairs Department and consists of representatives of the Corporate Planning, General Affairs, Human Resources, Legal Affairs, and Environment Safety Management departments. The CSR Committee generally holds meetings four times a year. The committee is responsible for discussing and making decisions on Important managerial Issues (Materiality)In November 2019, as a first step to establish an ESG management base, we specified our “Materiality” that we should focus on. In terms of specifying the materiality, we 1) identified the issues from the perspective of both Tokai Carbon Group and our stakeholders, 2) assessed each materiality, 3) discussed those at the CSR Committee which works under the management committee, referring to the opinions of external experts and 4) finally, it was decided by resolution of the Board of Directors.Hereafter, we will sincerely face each materiality, contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, and appropriately disclose the status of its efforts.important CSR related matters, bringing matters before and submitting reports to the Management Committee, and overseeing information disclosure through annual report preparation and other means.*The rate at which a graphite electrode is used up in the steelmaking process.34TOKAI CARBON ANNUAL REPORT 2019
