The J-Oil Mills Group has formulated “Joy for Life®: Bringing joy to the future by food” as the vision that represents the future it aims for. In this vein, we strive to realize a sustainable society. With our origins as a supplier of oils essential in our lives, through good taste, health, and low burden, we endeavor to bring more joy into the future. These are the concepts inherent to our concept of “Joy for Life®.” The environment surrounding the food industry presents a wide range of challenges, and promoting sustainability is essential to achieving our vision.
Last year, the Group revised its priority materiality, defining the new materiality as “realizing a sustainable society through stable food supply,” “contributing to the well-being of all through food safety and security,” “respect for diversity and enhancement of employee engagement,” and “strengthening corporate governance.” Nowadays, it has become natural for companies to take responsibility to help realize a sustainable society and contribute to people's well-being. To pass the world's limited resources on to future generations, our generation needs to do more than just reduce its environmental impact. Recently, the importance of “Business and Human Rights” in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment has been attracting attention. Such initiatives are of growing international concern from the perspective of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition to efforts to reduce environmental impact, we consider respect for human rights to be a fundamental premise of our corporate activities, and accordingly, we promote sustainable procurement initiatives in our supply chain.
The J-Oil Mills Group's value/purpose is to reap nature's potential and support efforts to supply food of reliable quality. We will continue working with our stakeholders to enhance corporate value and resolve social issues.

J-オイルミルズグループは企業理念体系において「Joy for Life®-食で未来によろこびを-」を目指すべき未来（ビジョン）とし、持続可能な社会の実現を目指しています。生活に欠かせない「あぶら」を原点に、おいしさ×健康×低負荷で、未来のよろこびを増やしたい。それが「Joy for Life®︎」に込めた想いです。食を取り巻く環境は多岐にわたる課題を抱えており、目指すべき未来の実現にはサステナビリティ推進が不可欠です。
当社グループは昨年「重点課題（マテリアリティ）」を見直し、「食の安定供給による持続可能な社会の実現」「食の安全安心を通じ全ての人のウェルビーイングへ貢献」「多様性の尊重と従業員の働きがい向上」「コーポレートガバナンスの強化」を新たなマテリアリティと特定しました。持続可能な社会の実現の一助となること、人々のウェルビーイングへ貢献することは、いまや企業にとって当然の責務です。限られた資源を未来へつなぐため、私たち世代にできることは環境への負荷低減だけではありません。昨今、ESG投資の中で「ビジネスと人権」の重要性が注目を集め、SDGs達成への貢献の観点からも「ビジネスと人権」の取り組みは国際的な関心事となっています。環境負荷低減の取り組みはもとより、人権尊重を企業活動の大前提と考え、サプライチェーンにおける持続可能な調達の取り組みを進めています。
当社グループの価値/存在意義（バリュー/パーパス）は、自然の恵みから可能性を引き出し、確かな品質で食を支えることにあります。これからもステークホルダーの皆さまと協働し、企業価値向上と社会課題解決に取り組んでまいります。
