The JSR Group mission is to contribute to the realization of a more prosperous human society through our business activities. In that process, it is important that we act with integrity as a "good corporate citizen" and live up to the trust our stakeholders place in us. Our Group CSR represents the initiatives we employ to successfully achieve that mission and as such, we view CSR as a key management issue.

Corporate Philosophy and Management Policies

Basic Approach to Corporate Ethics

●Contribution and Responsibility to Society

Obey the law, and conduct business activities as a responsible member of society; contribute to the betterment of society as a good corporate citizen.

●Trusted Management

Provide appropriate and timely information disclosure to shareholders; engage in highly transparent management, and increase corporate value, continually earning the trust of our shareholders.

●Services and Responsibilities for Customers and Other Business Partners

Interact in good faith with all business partners, maintaining fair and equitable relationships while providing high-quality services.

●Respect for the Individual

Respect employees as individuals, ensuring a discrimination-free, safe and comfortable work environment.

●Relations with the Company

It is our responsibility to all of our stakeholders to be vigilant against damage to corporate value in any form, including intangible factors, such as societal trust and corporate character.

Management Policies related to Safety, the Environment, Quality,

●Safety

●Quality

Basic Approach to Risk Management

Basic Approach to Social Contribution

CSR Advancement Structure

The JSR Group reorganized its CSR advancement structure in June 2008. The Group works to improve initiatives as a whole by establishing a CSR Department to support their advancement as well as the following four committees: the Corporate Ethics Committee, which works to establish corporate ethics and prevent misconduct; the Responsible Care Committee, which aims to achieve a sustainable society by advancing Responsible Care; the Risk Management Committee, which seeks to further improve risk management structures; and the Social Contribution Committee, which examines and advances the social contribution activities in which the Group ought to engage.
