Materiality of J-OIL MILLS (Things we value)

Overview

As the impact of corporate activities on society increases, there is a need for business operations that take the environment, society, and governance (ESG) into consideration, and ESG is being emphasized as one of the evaluation indicators of corporate value. J-OIL MILLS views ESG initiatives as the foundation of business activities and an important element that influences competitiveness, and promotes ESG Management that is integrated with business. As social issues become more complex, we identify Materiality our company should prioritize and regularly address in order to realize our corporate philosophy and solve SDGs* issues, taking into account trends in international society. We are conducting a review.

*Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the successor to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) formulated in 2001, and are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015. The international goal is to aim for a sustainable and better world by 2030. Consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets, it pledges to "leave no one behind" on earth. The SDGs are universal goals that are addressed not only by developing countries but also by developed countries themselves, and Japan is also actively working on them.

J-OIL MILLS will review its Sixth Medium-Medium-Term Business Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Sixth Medium-Term Plan) in 2022, extending the four-year plan from 2021 to 2024 by two years to a six-year plan. It was extended. As a result of this, various stakeholders pointed out that there was a discrepancy between the year in which we achieved our goals related to materiality and the final year of the 6th medium-term plan, and that the materiality identification process was unclear. In response to this, we are reviewing our materiality. In 2023, the materiality related to our business strategy is "Achieving a sustainable society through a stable food supply" and "Contributing to the well-being of all people through food safety and security," and the materiality related to our business foundation is "Diversity." We have identified four areas: respecting gender and improving employee job satisfaction, and Strengthen Corporate Governance. In the future, we will organize sub-materiality linked to each area and set goal images and KPIs.

Related to business strategy
  • Realizing a sustainable society through a stable food supply
  • Contributing to everyone's well-being through food safety and security
Materiality related to business foundations
  • Respecting diversity and improving employee motivation
  • Strengthen corporate governance
