Organization and Structures for Sustainability

We have established multiple committees and management systems related to the environment, society, and governance, such as an environmental management system and compliance committee, to address ESG issues. Each committee and management system provide reports to the Board of Directors in a timely and appropriate manner. We have also established a sustainability department to carry out initiatives for the realization of a sustainable society and improve longterm corporate value. The sustainability department cooperates with each committee and management system to oversee ESG initiatives carried out by each department and promote company-wide initiatives. The sustainability department provides reports on overall sustainability activities to the Board of Directors. In addition to above mentioned initiatives, we are working on the development of proprietary technologies and creation of new businesses to solve social issues through business activities.

Materiality

To realize future value for all stakeholders, JDI has identified materiality as issues to be addressed by JDI and its group companies. By working on each of the materiality issues, we will create customer and societal value as a company essential to social development and promote our sustainable growth.

JDI’s Materiality

"JDI has identified its major challenges from the perspective of the degree of importance in the context of JDI’s risks and opportunities, as well as in the context of its stakeholders, taking into account the demands of society such as international guidelines and initiatives, and then identified major challenges to be addressed and reported them to the Board of Directors."

Approach to Determining Materiality

With regard to human capital, an aspect of materiality, we will promote the maximization of the value of each employee through various initiatives, as well as ensuring the diversity of the workforce in order to improve employee engagement and build an organization that will continue to create new value. Regarding the response to climate change, we have started to work on climaterelated scenario analysis, risk and opportunity selection, financial impact assessment in accordance with TCFD recommendations, and accelerated initiatives aimed at realizing a decarbonized society.
