Participation in United Nations Global Compact

In May 2020, JAPEX signed the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and endorsed ten principles in proposed by the UNGC in four areas: protection of human rights, elimination of unfair labor practices, protection of the environment, and prevention of corruption. Based on the UNGC's ten principles in four areas, we promote our CSR and sustainability activities with the commitment of top management.

We also participate in the subcommittee of the Global Compact Network Japan (GCNJ), which consists of Japanese companies that have signed the UNGC.
