The JAMCO Group contributes to comfortable, safe, and secure air travel in the business areas of aircraft interior manufacturing, aircraft components manufacturing, and aircraft maintenance. We are also working to solve various sustainability issues, including global environmental concerns.
“Coexistence with nature and contributing to a prosperous and progressive society.”
This is a part of our management philosophy. To achieve this, we established the Basic Policy on Sustainability in 2022 and have been promoting sustainability management to contribute to society through our business.
The JAMCO Group will continue to work towards creating a prosperous and sustainable society while emphasizing relationships of trust with our stakeholders.
In August 2021, we instituted a Sustainability Promotion Board (SPB) to further enhance our solutions nitiatives.
The SPB is positioned as an internal control organization relating to sustainability by the management, and is constituted by executive officers in charge of Sustainability Promotion, Corporate Planning & Business evelopment, and Finance & Accounting, with the President of the company as chairperson. At the SPB, we decide crucial policy and important issues (materialities) regarding sustainability that may have an impact on our corporate vision and management strategy, decide on measures and crucial matters relating to these same sustainability concerns, and conduct monitoring and direction of efficacy of overall sustainability efforts.
Additionally, we report to the Board of Directors as appropriate regarding such decisions and progress in fforts.
Additionally, SPB promotes sustainability initiatives over the medium to long-term based on ESG Environmental- Social-Governance) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address environmental issues such as achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The JAMCO Group strives for coexistence with nature, pursuing people's satisfaction and a prosperous society through business activities, and contributing to society's sustainable development.

- To recognize global warming as an urgent issue and engage in every possible measure to reduce the environmental impact
- To seize changes in the business environment as new growth opportunities, and aim for the creation of a sustainable society and improved corporate value through the provision of safer and more reliable roducts and services
We have installed a Sustainability Promotion Department in our head office organization, which oversees the Group's overall sustainability efforts as the SPB secretariat, guides the efforts of our sustainability issues rojects that carry out the practical work of such as materialities in line with SPB policy, and promotes efforts including climate change initiatives.
The EMS Promotion Committee promotes environmental conservation in line with company regulations and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems.

Regarding “action toward carbon neutrality,” which we have identified as a materiality, we promoted the calculation and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We completed the calculation up to Scope 3 for our company and domestic Group companies. We introduced a new system to enable voluntary management at our sites and reduce the burden of calculation work, which not only improved efficiency, but also enhanced data accuracy. As a result of these efforts, we obtained third-party assurances for our greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) for FY2024. Going forward, we will continue to strive for continuous improvement, such as by further enhancing calculation accuracy and expanding the calculation scope to overseas sites.
In addition, to reduce GHG emissions, some sites are introducing renewable energy generation facilities using solar power. At the Miyazaki factory of Group company JAMCO Aircraft Interiors Corporation, official operations began in November 2024. We are further planning to introduce more panels at select locations throughout this fiscal year.
In the energy conservation sector, we were recognized by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy as a business operator with excellent energy conservation (S Class) in the FY2024 statutory energy conservation report issued under the Act on the Rational Use of Energy.
Regarding the management of fluorocarbons, JAMCO received an A rating in the “Fluorocarbon ountermeasures Rating 2024” conducted by the Japan Refrigerants and Environment Conservation Organization. This put us in the top 6% of the 1,560 eligible companies.
Based on our human rights policy, we decided to implement human rights due diligence at the ustainability Promotion Board (SPB), and these efforts have already begun. In FY2024, for the first phase, we conducted basic analysis of overseas Group companies, surveys of some suppliers, and reported progress in the SPB. In FY2025, we plan to conduct surveys at locations in Japan, visualize supply chains, and so on, and implement the necessary corrective measures.
Furthermore, securing and developing human resources in the aviation industry has become an mportant issue, and we recognize that addressing the issue of human capital is an urgent task. We acquired Kurumin Certification from the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare at the beginning of FY2024. During 2025 collective bargaining, we met all union demands, in addition to making annual leave rules more flexible. In this and other ways, we are working to create environments that enhance job satisfaction and ease of working.
We regularly conduct CSR surveys for our business partners (subcontractors), and in FY2024, we also onducted company visits and opinion exchanges. This has led to sharing of awareness and issues regarding sustainability, and survey scores have steadily improved. We believe this has been a beneficial initiative that will enhance future dialogue.
For the seven materiality items (important issues) identified at the end of FY2023, in FY2024 we articularly worked to expand information disclosure relating to human capital management, and began assessing reforms to human resource systems going forward.
The JAMCO Group’s sustainability activities stem from one section of our management philosophy: “Coexistence with nature and contributing to a prosperous and progressive society.”
Based on sustainability policies backcast from this management philosophy, we engage in activities under the seven materialities.
We believe that maximizing the three values through the provision of “Technology and Personnel,” as the Group has done since its founding, enables us to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
