Our approach to material topic assessment

We have identified our material topics (the most important issues that Mercari has to resolve through its business activities) by deriving the social and environmental issues in which our company is involved and evaluating our company and stakeholders, all while referring to various types of ESG documentation.

Material topics

Our material topics are closely related to our Group mission. Value creation through our business based on a strong organization and management foundations is crucial to achieving our mission. This value creation generates social impact, which helps us achieve our mission. In defining our material topics, we consider these concepts and level of impact each of the topics will have on Mercari and our stakeholders.
