Our Approach to Sustainability

日本語 English

JAPEX believes that our mission is to provide a stable supply of energy and that our business activities themselves are a form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Under this recognition, we discuss and decide on policies and core themes related to CSR and sustainability at the management level, and engage in activities across the entire JAPEX Group.

Basic Concept

Based on a policy to systematically promote CSR throughout the company, JAPEX identifies the core CSR themes "SHINE."

In addition, our management plan sets a policy on sustainability activities, to actively work on solving social issues toward the realization of a sustainable society.

In 2023, we defined the "Materiality" as what connects the core CSR themes "SHINE" and "JAPEX Management Plan 2022-2030."

Based on them, we have been promoting sustainability activities across the entire JAPEX Group, including setting and implementing CSR action plans and goals, and evaluating them from an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) perspective.
