Sustainability Promotion Structure

推進体制図

J-Oil Mills regards ESG as an evaluation indicator of corporate value and has established a Sustainability Committee as the foundation of an internal structure for proactively promoting ESG management and sustainability initiatives linked to the company's long-term strategy and growth investments.
This committee is composed of three subcommittees: "Sustainable Product Development Subcommittee," "Sustainable Procurement and Environment Subcommittee," and "Human Rights Subcommittee," and six subcommittees are set up under the subcommittees. Each subcommittee and subcommittee is assigned an executive officer as the person responsible for managing it, and under their leadership, they work on formulating plans and implementing specific measures. The Sustainability Committee organically connects the activities of each subcommittee and manages progress on a quarterly basis, while also reporting to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
Going forward, we will continue to disseminate information about the efforts of this committee both inside and outside the company, and through stakeholder engagement, strive to improve our corporate value by solving social issues.
