Sustainability

Message from the Director General

The world is acutely aware of the need for a collaborative human response to the climate change challenge, including global warming. The same is true for the urgent need to become carbon neutral. Amidst other pressing challenges of population pressure, food and energy, planet earth is clearly urging major changes in human activity on a global scale. Under these circumstances, the word "sustainability" has become familiar to us. In 2015, JWA set out its corporate mission of "creating a society that is in harmony with the natural world," and coined the term "Harmonability" to succinctly express this mission. Harmonability is in line with the concept of sustainability and is a keyword that expresses the JWA's activities toward a sustainable society. Kazuhiro Watanabe, Director General

Efforts toward recommendations of TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)
