Sustainability

Naoki Goto

There is a concept for understanding the population increase of organisms called the logistic curve. When microorganisms are cultured in a nutrient-rich medium, they continue to breed rapidly until that medium reaches its limit and when they in due course reach the environmental carrying capacity their growth slows down and subsequently, they reach a stable equilibrium or, depending on the species of organism, go extinct. This S-shaped curve is called the logistic curve. We can conclude that this phenomenon is the same in the case of the increase in the human population.

In 2004 when MedPeer was founded, Japan’s total population was roughly at its peak. Currently, Japan’s total population is in a declining phase, so we are facing the question of where Japanese society will approach its stable equilibrium. The world population faces the same question when taking the long-term view, so I believe that, understood in the broad sense, sustainability is nothing more than facing the question of how to build this stable equilibrium state, which has never been experienced by anyone before, through the actions of humanity.

With the mission of “Supporting Doctors, Helping Patients,” we are developing our segments through a combination of healthcare and information technology (IT). I consider that these segment activities themselves are aimed at the realization of a sustainable healthcare provision system and a stable equilibrium state in healthcare. In other words, I believe that our responsibility with respect to sustainability is to put all of our efforts as a company into maintaining and developing Japan’s high level of healthcare, which we can be proud of, even in the context of a demographic situation in which the the aging rate will increase even further going forward, through the further utilization of innovative technologies such as digital transformation (DX) and generative AI in every aspect of healthcare.

Identifying Materialities

To meet the expectations and demands of our stakeholders, we have identified vital issues (materialities) that must be prioritized. By addressing these issues, we aim to balance continuous contribution to society with the enhancement of our corporate value.
We will regularly update these materialities and related initiatives based on changes in the external environment and dialogs with stakeholders.

Process for Identifying Materialities

  • Step1

    Identify Candidate Materiality Items

    We identify social issues highly relevant to our business activities and corporate culture by referring to international guidelines such as the GRI standards and evaluation items from organizations that evaluate ESG.

  • Step2

    Organize Materialities from the Perspective of Our Company and Stakeholders

    The items identified and organized in Step 1 are evaluated from the perspective of our company and our stakeholders.
