Basic Policy on Sustainability

Under our Corporate Philosophy of “We will meet people’s needs for energy without fail, and play our part in the sustainable development of Japan and the rest of the world,” we, the J-POWER Group, will realize a prosperous society through our business activities both in Japan and the world, based on a relationship of trust with our stakeholders.

Sustainability Promotion Structures

Because the promotion of sustainability is directly related to the Group’s management strategy and management issues, our important matters regarding sustainability, including our Basic Policy on Sustainability and material issues, are decided by the Board of Directors after discus sions at the Executive Committee. Specific measures are discussed and promoted by the Sustainability Promotion Board, headed by the ESG Oversight (President), in cooperation with Group companies. The Sustainability Promotion Board convenes at least three times a year to discuss the drafting of policies to be submitted and reported to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. It is also tasked with formulating plans and reviews measures based on policies, risk management, and other matters. In addition, the person in charge of sustainability promo tion regularly reports the contents of those deliberations to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors to allow them to monitor the status of initiatives and reflect them in man agement and business plans.

Signing of the UN Global Compact

In April 2020, J-POWER was registered as one of the corporate signatories of the UN Global Compact (UNGC). At the same time, we joined Global Compact Network Japan, a group composed of Japanese signatories to the compact.

UNGC is a voluntary effort by which companies and organizations act as good members of society and participate in the creation of a global framework for sustainable growth by demonstrating responsible and creative leadership. Companies and organizations that sign the UNGC are required to observe and practice ten principles related to the four areas of human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption in the development of their corporate strategies and activities.

J-POWER has engaged in efforts to improve its corporate value in the fields of environment, society, and governance (ESG). By signing the UNGC and clearly expressing our corporate stance, we will further strengthen our ESG initiatives.
