Environmental Management

Governance and Management Framework

JSR Group formulates environmental targets under our basic policy of Responsible Care to advance environmental activities integrated with our management.
The Environmental Supervisory Department drafts the environmental targets. The Environment, Safety and Quality Committee, chaired by the officer in charge of environment, safety and quality, then deliberates and approves those targets. After that, the committee reports the targets to the Sustainability Promotion Committee.

Policy and Basic Approach

JSR Group recognizes that it is our duty to contribute to the realization of a sustainable global environment and society as a company which handles chemical substances.
Therefore, we consider reducing the environmental impact arising from our business activities and appropriately managing chemical substances to be priority issues. Accordingly, we are striving to reduce GHG* emissions and to appropriately manage waste. In particular, it is expected that climate change will have a big impact on our business due to the risks from an increase in natural disasters and environmental regulations. Therefore, we are working to reduce GHG emissions as a mid- to long-term management issue.
