Materiality Assessment

We conducted a materiality assessment in accordance with the GRI Standards to identify material issues that may affect our overall sustainability and select topics for the report. To this end, we created a pool of issues based on the results of analysis on internal and external environment with focus on international standard analysis, benchmarking of leading companies, and media research, and assessed the business impact and stakeholder interest. As a result, we selected three key issues and ten material issues. This report was prepared to share our activities and progress and maintain close communication with our stakeholders.
