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 a trusted and indispensable corporate citizen. To this end, the Group will contribute to the realization of a sustainable global environment and society by creating value through its corporate activity and based on this corporate mission.

Beginning in FY2022, JSR Group started disclosing our sustainability KPIs (“KPIs”) on our sustainability website. We chose to do this to help our stakeholders understand the initiatives we are taking to solve sustainability issues and the progress we are making. This report covers the progress made in FY2022.
Furthermore, we will continue to review our KPIs and targets as needed based on companywide policies, business strategy and world trends.

The transfer of the Elastomers Business was completed as planned on April 1, 2022. This made FY2022 the first year of a new JSR built primarily around the Digital Solutions Business and Life Sciences Business. This report contains more information about not only JSR’s initiatives on a non-consolidated basis, but also those of its overseas Group companies.

We expanded and added messages from employees to the feature first began in 2022, entitled “JSR Sustainability at a Glance,” that describes JSR Group’s sustainability initiatives simply for stakeholders, students, and general readers.

At the Board of Directors Meeting held on June 26, 2023, a unanimous resolution was passed in support of the tender offer made by JICC-02 Co., Ltd. and to encourage shareholders, holders of stock acquisition rights and American depositary receipts to accept the tender offer made by JICC-02 Corporation.

JSR will become unlisted upon the completion of the tender offer, but information dissemination on this website will continue unchanged.

Messages from the Officer in Charge of Sustainability Promotion are posted as they were last year.
