Our Approach to Materiality Assessment

We have assessed our materiality (the most important issues Mercari has to resolve through its business activities) by referring to all types of ESG documentation, such as guidelines, and evaluationsby the company and our stakeholders.
Our Approach to Materiality Assessment

Mercari’s five material topics (materiality)

Mercari's material topics are those that we must take on in order to realize our long-term vision. Following internal and external changes, Mercari’s materiality was updated in 2021 from how it was originally defined in 2019. Mercari has defined the following five topics as our materiality, as they relate to creating value to contribute to resolving social and environmental issues through our business, and creating the management foundation necessary for continuous growth.

Creating a Circular Economy/Mitigating Climate Change

We will continue to pursue our idea of planet positive, where Mercari not only minimizes its environmental burden but helps solve environmental issues through business and creates a circular economy where our finite resources are used sparingly.

    Diversity & Inclusion

    We tackle structural discrimination and inequality issues by building a workplace where people of all backgrounds can achieve their maximum potential. We also strive to realize a service accessible to all.

      Local Empowerment

      By finding solutions to issues unique to regions across the country, Mercari aims to contribute to local economies and empower individuals and businesses.

        Safe, Secure, and Fair Transactions

        We strive to provide a platform for secure and fair transactions so our users, merchants, and business partners feel at ease using our service.

          Corporate Governance and Compliance

          We aim to establish a sound and transparent internal decision-making process to earn the trust of not only our users and business partners, but society as a whole.
