JGC Holdings Corp

The Group has established the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the Representative Director, Chairman and CEO, and this deliberates on the formulation, promotion, evaluation, and improvement of policies and action plans in the field of sustainability, including climate change and human capital. As well as submitting an annual report to the Board of Directors, this also aims to conduct discussions and provide reports as necessary in a timely manner. Furthermore, starting from April 2024, we have appointed sustainability promotion members at each key subsidiary of our Group through nominations by the presidents of those subsidiaries in order to implement the policies and action plans formulated by the committee. We have also established and are operating the Sustainability Promotion Liaison Meeting, aimed at facilitating communication, coordination, and exchange of opinions between the promotion committee members. [...] Sustainability Promotion members participate as observers in the Sustainability Committee, and are responsible for ensuring that matters discussed are implemented by each operating company. I have long been involved in the startup and commissioning of plants for overseas projects. Leveraging this experience, I serve as the leader of the task force responsible for accounting JGC Corporation's GHG emissions and considering measures to reduce these, and I was also selected as a sustainability promotion member of our Company in order to further expand sustainability activities within the Company. In fiscal 2024, we will continue with task force initiatives, and in fiscal 2025, we plan to expand these activities to overseas Group companies under the JGC Corporation umbrella. To achieve results from these initiatives, the understanding and cooperation of employees are essential. As a sustainability promotion member of our Company, I will demonstrate leadership in addressing the various sustainability issues discussed by the Sustainability Committee, including responses to climate change, and will promote initiatives throughout JGC Corporation.
