The compilation of the 2023 ESG Sustainability Report, based on stakeholder inclusiveness, responsiveness, impact, and sustainability perspectives, identified seven major stakeholders, same as the previous ESG Sustainability Report. Additionally, 25 issues were identified based on food industry-related regulations. After interacting with stakeholders and discussions with the ESG Sustainability Development Committee and experts about positive, negative, and actual potential impacts (recorded in meeting minutes), 11 material issues were analyzed for this year’s report. These serve as the focus of the 2023 report, with other issues voluntarily disclosed based on key food industry situations. The report will explain the management approach and related disclosure items for each material topic.
