At Idemitsu group, we value contributing to society through our business. Our mission is to continue supplying energy that supports people's lifelines while contributing to social development. In recent years, the environmental impact of energy use has become a major social issue, and we recognize that harmony with the global environment and society is an important and urgent issue. Accordingly, with a longterm perspective, we have identified priority topics that it should prioritize during the medium-term management plan as materiality. The entire our group will work as one to resolve issues of materialities, with the aim of achieving our sustainable development with the global environment and society.

We considered the impact on the SDGs through the promotion of key initiatives that are classified as materiality and linked to materiality. We realize that all goals of the SDGs are connected to each other. Therefore, our business activities will bring impact, not only to one specific goal, but also the SDGs as a whole, although the impact itself may vary from one goal to another. In particular, we believe that the following three areas can contribute to the achievement of goals through our business activities.

Areas where goals can especially be achieved

While working to achieve the goals, there are also aspects in which promoting the achievement of the goals leads to increased use of resources and GHG emissions. We recognize that our business activities might impose burden to the following areas and keep us away from achieving the goals. Therefore, it is necessary to make serious efforts to address them.

Areas that especially need to be addressed due to possibility of risks arising from business activities
