Samsung SDI has published seven editions of its Sustainability Report since the first report was released in 2003. Our notion of a ?�Good Sustainability Report??is a credible report that is easy to read. The Sustainability Report is a major channel through which Samsung SDI delivers information on activities and performance related to sustainability and receives stakeholder feedback. The Report is prepared taking into consideration stakeholders?��areas of interest and sustainability pursued by Samsung SDI.

We have continuously enhanced the process of determining material issues to incorporate the interests of diverse stakeholders and to ensure accurate and effective reporting. In 2009, we set up the ?�Samsung SDI sustainability issue pool??based on sustainability initiatives and assessment issues. We also upgraded the materiality test to prioritize issues based on quantitative measures of materiality. The revisions were intended to provide greater credibility and more in-depth coverage of the material issues.

Issues were classified as being material, relevant, or not material depending on their level of importance. The 2009 Sustainability Report focuses on the material issues and partially covers the relevant issues. Information on issues included in the printed report and other relevant issues are provided through the sustainability homepage. Issues deemed to be not material are excluded from the reporting scope.
