Sustainability

We want to grow together by building a sustainable society, caring for people, local communities, and the earth. With this in mind, we at FUJI FLAVOR, as a member of the JT Group of companies, are engaged in a variety of initiatives.

Overview of the JT Group Sustainability

The JT Group's management principle is the 4S model. We believe that as nature, society and people's lives are intertwined, sustaining our ways of living, and the activities of entities, will depend on the sustainability of the environment and society in which we exist. In pursuing this principle and by realizing the JT Group Purpose, we will contribute to the sustainability of our environment and our society.
The JT Group Materiality is the foundation of our sustainability management. We have revised our materiality and identified five material topics, namely “Living with the planet” “Value Creation that exceeds consumer expectations” “Investing in our people and supporting their growth” “Responsible supply chain management” and “Good governance”. Based on the revised materiality, we have been working on specific goals and initiatives for the Group. The JT Group Sustainability Targets have been set, consisting of a total of 25 items. These targets will be re-visited regularly so that they can evolve further.
Our group will contribute to sustainable planet and society, by realizing our purpose, moving forward with specific initiatives set as sustainability targets based on our materiality.
