Sustainable Material Issue

MERRY consistently maintains effective communication and engagement with stakeholders throughout its operations, actively participating in various industry associations to foster sustainable partnerships and fulfill its role as a responsible corporate citizen. The company website features an External Communication Mailbox to establish transparent and diverse channels of communication with all stakeholders. To identify key stakeholders with significant relevance to the company’s operations, the Sustainability Development Promotion Team referenced the five dimensions of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000 SES) established by Account Ability—dependency, influence, attention, responsibility, and diverse perspectives. In 2023, a questionnaire was distributed to company management, resulting in 30 valid responses. Through this process, nine primary stakeholder categories were identified, along with five key stakeholder groups. In 2024, an open discussion was held to further analyze key stakeholders. The assessment across the five dimensions revealed no significant differences, and it was resolved that the key stakeholders remain as investors, employees, sup[1]pliers, customers, and government agencies. The results of stakeholder engagement, along with the Sustainability Report, are also reviewed by the President and submitted to the Board of Directors.
