JSR Group sees the problem of climate change currently facing society as one of the important issues for the company. We are therefore vigorously implementing activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by applying the technical strength we have built through our history. In such circumstances, we view the TCFD^*1 Recommendations as contributing to the development of a sustainable society toward transition to a low-carbon economy, and we have begun implementing initiatives that are in step with them.
First of all, we are reinforcing our governance system even further by providing oversight by the Board of Directors and we are beginning scenario analyses for the formulation of concrete management strategies, risk management plans, indices, and goals for the future.
Earnestly confronting climate change as a chemical company, we are deepening our understanding of the opportunities and risks our Group’s corporate activities affect, taking action accordingly, and striving to proactively disclose our initiatives to the public toward this end.

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). In June of 2017, the TFCD presented recommendations for the disclosure of the effects that climate change risk has on financial institutions, companies, and governments in financial reports. More than 1,000 organizations around the world have endorsed the recommendations (as of February 2020; published data of the TCFD).
