Our Approach to Sustainability

日本語 English

Basic Concept

Guided by our mission to provide a stable energy supply, JAPEX considers it a basic concept to balance the resolution of social issues, such as achieving a carbon-neutral society through the promotion of sustainability, with the medium- to long-term enhancement of corporate value. Based on them, the entire JAPEX Group advances sustainability initiatives, including setting and implementing Sustainability action plans and targets, and evaluating them from an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) perspective.

Sustainability Management Promotion System

To deliberate and discuss the management plan and sustainability-related matters, we have established the Sustainability Committee. This Committee is chaired by the Representative Director and President, and it meets on an as-needed basis. Furthermore, to promote ESG-related initiatives, we have established working groups (WGs) that conduct detailed preliminary reviews prior to Committee deliberations.
The Corporate Strategy Dept. supervises the promotion system, including the secretariat of the Sustainability Committee, and reports annually on the status of sustainability promotion to the Board of Directors.
The main agenda items regarding sustainability are as follows:

Formulation and review of material issues
Formulation and review of Sustainability Themes and Sustainability Action Plan
Initiatives to respect human rights
Status of response to natural capital-related risks and opportunities
Company-wide policy on sustainability, including the Code of Ethics and Conduct
External disclosure of sustainability information including the Integrated Report
