Key Issues (Materiality) of TDK

From the perspective of achieving our Long-term Vision based on our Corporate Motto and Corporate Principles, we took into consideration our long-term strategies as well as risks and opportunities and identified the key issues (materiality) that have a real impact on the value creation capability of the TDK Group. This materiality was extracted from our long-term strategy for enhancing corporate value, and the action strategy is reflected in our Medium-term Plan, which started in FY March 2025. The materiality of the TDK Group is premised on the long-term creation of value for not only investors, but all stakeholders including customers, suppliers, and team members (employees) and focuses on issues that help maximize TDK’s corporate value.
TDK’s key issues (materiality), which plot the enhancement of corporate value and adopt the concept of synchronizing the sustainability of both society and company, comprise financial materiality (important items for TDK) and impact materiality (important items for stakeholders). After deriving financial materiality and impact materiality, we closely examined the two and selected our materiality. We monitor the degree of achievement of KPIs set for each materiality theme by contrasting planned figures and achieved figures. We place an emphasis on PBR as an indicator of corporate value, and believe that our efforts to address materiality will ultimately lead to an improvement in PBR.
