3. Background and Outlook
Global population explosion and environmental destruction are adversely affecting domestic primary industries, and future risks in food procurement for the Group's hotels are becoming apparent. The Group has identified 'biodiversity conservation' as a materiality (key issue) and recognizes that providing high-value food sustainably and passing these irreplaceable food resources to future generations is an important management task and social mission.

To fulfill this mission, the Group will apply the environmental technology and service know-how cultivated through hotel development and operation to the primary industry, establishing an 'environmentally low-impact and economically independent production model.' This will enhance the resilience of the Company's supply chain and realize 'Creating Shared Value (CSV)' that balances sustainable profits with solving social issues through the following initiatives:

(1) Strengthening Supply Chain and Preserving Natural Capital:
Through investment and technical/management support for producers, the Company will build a sustainable procurement network that contributes to biodiversity conservation (nature positive), such as restoring traditional production bases and protecting endangered species.

(2) Value Provision Model and Branding:
Utilizing the 44 domestic and international hotels operated by the Group as a stable provision base, the Company will promote unique branding by providing high-value food and offering harvesting experiences (experiential consumption) for guests. Sales to external parties and overseas will also be considered in the future.

(3) Environmental Considerations:
Applying the Company's energy management technologies, RT Farm will operate production and processing businesses that minimize environmental impacts like greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water stress by practicing renewable energy use and water resource recycling using advanced water quality management (closed-loop systems, etc.).

4. Future Prospects
The impact of this matter on the Company's consolidated performance for the current fiscal year will be minor.
