1. Editorial Policy

Under the corporate mission of "Materials Innovation - We create value through materials to enrich society, people and the environment," JSR Group aims to build and maintain good relations with all of our stakeholders and become an indispensable corporate citizen. We intend to resolve social issues by integrating management and CSR as well as demonstrating our corporate mission with actual results.
In FY2017, which marked the initial fiscal year of our mid-term business plan JSR20i9, we executed our activities by arranging identified CSR priorities into three approaches that take a stronger social perspective while achieving greater transparency and acceptability. They are: "Social Issues Attributable to JSR Group's Corporate Activity," "Social Issues that JSR Group Can Help Resolve," and "Basic Issues in JSR Group's Corporate Activity."
Through this report, we aim to communicate our CSR activities during FY2017 to all stakeholders in an easily comprehensible way.
The report's Online Version provides a detailed account of our CSR activities. Its primary focus is on initiatives targeting priority issues that were arranged into the three approaches. It also includes a collection of data that organizes related details into an easy-to-reference format. This arrangement is intended to facilitate the reader's understanding of JSR's CSR activities in their entirety. In addition to the Online Version, we have published a Highlight Version in the form of a pamphlet that outlines the essence of our CSR activities in FY2017.
