Six Focus Areas and 24 Materiality Topics

At Olympus, we listen to the opinions of our stakeholders and consider societal expectations and requirements, as well as trends in the medical technology (“MedTech”) industry, analyses of risks and opportunities from a sustainability perspective, and so on. Based on these, we have identified six focus areas and 24 materiality topics with which to engage towards contributing to the resolution of societal challenges.

Six Focus Areas

We will introduce in detail Olympus’ materiality from the perspectives of “Why” (Why are we taking these actions?), “How” (How will we achieve this?), and “What” (What specifically will we do?) in each of the six focus areas.
