Background to Identification as Materiality
Significance for TDK
The pursuit of both delegation of authority and internal controls will lead to the clarification of criteria for business decisions and the utilization of efficient and effective management systems, which in turn will speed up business and realize the acquisition of business chances ahead of market changes. At the same time, since it will also be possible to avoid inappropriate business decisions and operations, this activity can be expected to lead to the enhancement of the TDK Group’s corporate value.
Significance for Society
The avoidance of inappropriate business decisions and operations can be expected to lead to the prevention of adverse impacts on society, such as environmental and human rights issues.

Department Head Message
Corporate Planning Group, Corporate Strategy HQ
Shuichi Hashiyama
We will aim to enhance the corporate value of the TDK Group through the realization of empowerment and transparency, utilizing the strengths of each Group company and pooling the energy of the entire Group. The current issue is that there is a gap in the degree of maturity of internal controls among Group divisions. To overcome this issue, over the next three years, with the cooperation of HQ functions, we will disseminate the global common regulations. In addition, we will raise the level of internal control in each tier of the Group by clarifying rules for the selection of directors in subsidiaries and implementing education for subsidiary directors and candidates.
