GLM's Initiatives Connecting Materiality with Daily Operations Featured in Professional Book

Global-Link Management Inc. (GLM), headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, with President Daiju Kin, announced that its efforts to connect materiality with employees' daily operations and encourage behavioral change have been published in a professional book. GLM has positioned sustainability as part of its management strategy, advancing internal designs to link materiality to individual employee judgment and actions. As a result, an internal survey conducted in 2025 showed that 82% of employees responded, 'My work is connected to materiality.' GLM's initiatives to link materiality to action are based on a five-stage model: 'awareness → understanding → empathy → personalization → spontaneous action.' By combining internal video newsletters, dialogues between management and employees, study groups, and evaluation/award systems, GLM has built a mechanism to implement sustainability beyond mere 'understanding' to employee actions. These measures are not solely for internal enlightenment but aim to improve work quality, standardize risk perception, and enhance governance awareness by sharing a judgment axis based on materiality throughout the organization. GLM conducts regular awareness surveys to gauge the internal penetration of materiality. Key indicators introduced in the professional book include: 82% of employees responded that their work is connected to materiality; 94% satisfaction with round-table discussions between management and employees; and approximately 70% participation rate in study groups. By regularly monitoring these results and making continuous improvements, GLM confirms whether business judgments and actions based on materiality are established throughout the organization. Moving forward, GLM aims to further advance the connection between materiality and operations, clarifying the relationship with non-financial management risks and opportunities such as innovation creation, governance strengthening, and human risk reduction. The company will continue to monitor both quantitative and qualitative aspects, promoting sustainability as a management foundation contributing to enhanced corporate value. The book is titled 'Implementing Sustainability Strategies: The Design Science of Internal Penetration to Promote Organizational Behavior,' authored by Koji Kitada and Mitsunori Ando, published by Chikumashobo, and released on March 5, 2026. GLM was established in March 2005, with Daiju Kin as Representative Director and President. Its headquarters are located at Shibuya Mark City West 21F, 1-12-1 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. The company's business is real estate solutions (development, regeneration, and land planning of investment properties).
