JCU’s Materialities

In order to achieve the goals set out in our Long-term vision, "JCU VISION 2035,"
JCU has identified eleven key issues (materialities) centering on the four categories of "environment," "society," "governance," and "technology," and is working to resolve these challenges by accelerating the promotion of sustainability management.

Process of Identifying Materialities

Primarily through the Corporate Strategy Office and the Medium-term Management Plan Project, we shortlisted and identified social issues from various perspectives, including stakeholder opinions, ESG disclosure guidelines, various assessment agencies, and ISO26001, and evaluated these issues based on the two axes of their importance to our company and to our stakeholders, thereby identifying their materiality for our company. The shortlisted materialities were discussed, approved and identified by the Board of Directors.

We manage our sustainability management initiatives based on these materialities, and verify the progress we make on each materiality at our Medium-term Management Plan monitoring meetings and Board of Directors meetings. Furthermore, we discuss whether there have been any changes in the importance of each issue in light of changes in internal and external business environments, such as changes in social conditions or our own strategies.
