Identifying Sustainability Priority Issues

[Background of Re-identification of Sustainability Priority Issues]

ROHM Group aims to be a company that continues to be selected by stakeholders by solving environmental and social issues in the future. The Group‘s management vision is to “resolve social issues by contributing to the ”energy conservation“ and ”downsizing“ of customers by focusing on power and analog.” In April 2021, we established "The ROHM Group Environmental Vision 2050" and declared carbon neutral and zero emissions. In May 2021, we formulated “MOVING FORWARD to 2025”, our medium-term management plan, as a strategic measure to achieve our Management Vision. Then, in May 2021, we formulated the medium-term management plan "MOVING FORWARD to 2025" as a strategy to achieve the "Management Vision" and re-identified sustainability priority issues. By working toward the realization of ROHM's ideal form and the achievement of sustainability issues necessary for the realization of the medium-term management plan, we will lead to the sustainable growth of ROHM and society.

[Process of Identifying Sustainability Priority Issues]

Sustainability priority issues and medium-term goals were set after analyzing and verifying the results of external evaluations, international guidelines such as ISO 26000, and expectations for ROHM from dialogues with internal and external stakeholders.

• Identify and prioritize important issues to be addressed by the ROHM Group not only from the perspective of impact on the sustainability of society, but also from the perspective of enhancing the Group's corporate value.

• Strengthening Sustainable Technologies, Developing and Supplying Innovative Products
• Mitigation of Climate Change
• Effective Use of Resources
• Strengthening Employee Engagement
• Diversity Development
• Ensuring the Health and Safety of Employees
• Enhancing Corporate Governance
• Risk Management
• Sustainable Supply Chain Management
• Strengthening Product Safety and Quality

[Sustainability Priority Issues]

Sustainability priority include “creating shared value (CSV), that is resolving social issues through business activities“, in which, by playing a part in solving social issues, our business activities themselves will also lead to ROHM’s own growth. They also include “business activities that could bring positive social impact to the society," in which we will meet the expectations of our stakeholders by mitigating the impact that our business activities have on those around us.
