1. Philosophy and Advancement Structure

JSR Group’s management policies state as part of our responsibility to society that we will reduce our environmental impact through the entire product lifecycle and continually give consideration to safety and the environment.

2. Product Liability Prevention (PLP)

(2) PLP Activities

JSR has enacted Product Liability Prevention (PLP) Standards to support its product safety efforts. We are taking steps to prevent PL incidents by establishing regulations for each part of the supply chain; namely, design and development, manufacture, sales, and distribution.

We have expanded our business categories to include the life sciences business, in addition to the digital solutions business (which includes semiconductor materials and display materials). Thus, at the design stage, we conduct PL risk reviews as a materials manufacturer that meets the demands of a diverse range of customers in different industries and with different needs. PLP activities represent the very basis for understanding customer requirements and standards as well as increasing the reliability of our products.

Examples of PLP Activities

Utilization of PLP Check Sheet

In addition to design reviews, we utilize the PLP Check Sheet to prevent PL accidents. Using the PLP Check Sheet, we have built a system that checks the safety of products that will be newly brought to market from multiple aspects from the design stage and commercializes them after obtaining approval from department heads.

PLP Training

We regularly provide training on PLP at each business site, including the Product Liability Act, our PLP system, and the prevention of PL incidents, to improve employees' knowledge and awareness of PLP.
