Environmental Report 2025
Environmental Targets and Activity Results
To reduce environmental impact and promote environmentally friendly manufacturing, the JAE Group operates under ISO 14001 certification. Respecting the autonomy of each site while aligning with medium-term objectives, we set annual environmental targets and operational management goals. The main activities for fiscal 2024 are shown in the table below.
These activities not only enhanced production efficiency and quality, but also contributed to resource circulation—such as reducing the use of chemical substances and raw materials, and recycling waste into valuable resources. They also achieved cost reductions, thereby further promoting environmental management.
