Environmental Report 2014

Environmental Accounting Data

The JAE Group adopted environmental accounting in fiscal 2002. Quantitatively comparing the cost of environmental activities with their effects helps the group ensure efficiency.

FY 2013 Data

Costs in fiscal 2013 rose compared to fiscal 2012, driven by increased costs for management activities and other factors. With regard to investment amounts, the aggressive investments made in fiscal 2012 accounted for the decline since that year.
