Stakeholder Identification and Engagement

Bora Pharmaceuticals values the interests of all stakeholders and is committed to open, transparent, and effective communication. We systematically identify key sustainability concerns by consulting internal teams, external experts, and referencing the GRI Standards published by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and industry trends. The process includes departmental interviews and questionnaires to gather insights.

Stakeholder IdentificationIssue Compilation and Questionnaire SurveyMajor Issue Analysis and RankingIssue Disclosure and Discussion
Through internal discussions, 6 main stakeholder groups were identified: employees, investors, customers, and suppliers. Based on GRI Standards as the foundation for issue collection, sustainability issues were identified according to their relevance and Bora’s industry characteristics for the questionnaire design. Last year’s major issues were used as a baseline, and Bora’s management team assessed the importance and stakeholder concern of the issues.After calculating and analyzing the major issues for 2024, we assessed their importance based on their scores and categorized them into high, medium, and general issues. We responded to the major issues in the corresponding sections of this year’s report and will continue to strengthen management of these issues in the future.
