In order to realize a sustainable society, we will face social changes and embody "Joy for Life® - Bringing joy to the future through food."

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 employees 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.

In J-OIL MILLS Group 's corporate philosophy system, we aim to realize a sustainable society by setting "Joy for Life ®-Bringing joy to the future by food future. Starting with oil, an essential part of life, we want to increase the joy of the future through good taste, health, and low burden. This is the idea behind "Joy for Life ® ︎". The food environment faces a wide range of issues, and promoting sustainability is essential to realizing the future we should aim for.

Last year, the Group reviewed its "priority issues (materiality)" and identified new materiality as "realizing a sustainable society through a stable supply of food," "contributing to the well-being of all people through food safety and security," "respecting diversity and improving employee job satisfaction," and "Strengthen Corporate Governance governance." It is now a natural responsibility for companies to help realize a sustainable society and contribute to people's well-being. In order to pass on limited resources to the future, our generation can do more than just reduce the burden on the environment. Recently, the importance of "business and human rights" has been attracting attention in ESG investment, and "business and human rights" initiatives have become a matter of international interest from the perspective of contributing to the achievement of the SDGs. In addition to initiatives to reduce the environmental burden, we are promoting sustainable procurement initiatives in the supply chain, considering respect for human rights as a fundamental premise for corporate activities.

Our Group 's value and purpose is to draw out the potential of nature's bounty and support food with reliable quality. We will continue to work with our stakeholders to improve our corporate value and solve social issues.
