The JAMCO Group constantly undertakes to respect the human rights of all persons in its business.
In order to continue to be “a sincere company that respects personnel,” JAMCO will support the growth of all employees, and promote a workplace environment where everyone can actively work.
In carrying out its business activities, JAMCO strives to be a sincere corporation trusted by all stakeholders, including customers, business partners, local communities, and employees. We consider dialogue with stakeholders to contribute to our sustained growth and improving medium- to long-term corporate value, and conduct such dialogue proactively. We precisely ascertain opinions and expectations for our Group, and take them into account in our business activities, thereby working toward positive engagement with our stakeholders.

Guided by our Management Philosophy, we will strive to realize a sustainable society, value our relationships of trust with all stakeholders, and contribute to building a prosperous society. Our Management Philosophy is to bring joy and satisfaction to our customers and pursue the happiness of our employees, and we will strive for appropriate collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including our shareholders, employees, business partners, customers and local communities. Furthermore, we will push forward with the following initiatives, prioritizing returns to employees and consideration for business partners from the perspective that appropriate distribution of profits and outcomes generated through value co-creation and productivity improvements to multiple stakeholders is crucial for maintaining wage growth momentum and fostering sustainable economic development.
We will promote human resource development centered on creating a lively working environment and providing education and training, and we will leverage each employee's pride in their work and advanced technical capabilities in striving for sustainable growth and productivity improvement with a focus on maximizing added value.
Based on the profits and outcomes generated through these efforts, we will implement wage increases that are appropriate considering our own circumstances as well as actively invest in human capital with a focus on education and training to enhance employee engagement and drive further productivity improvements. Through this approach, we aim to provide sustained returns to our employees.
In more specific terms, we will implement regular wage increases in accordance with company regulations each fiscal year and strive to implement base salary increases and pay bonuses that consider appropriate profit sharing based on performance. Regarding education and training, we will strive to enhance employee skills, capabilities and motivation through various training programs such as “DX talent development,” “position-specific training,” “selective training,” “specialized skills training,” “language training,” “themebased training,” and “self-improvement training.”
We will continue working to comply with the contents of the Declaration of Partnership Building.
If JAMCO is delisted from the Declaration of Partnership Building portal site, we will voluntarily withdraw the publication of our Multistakeholder policy.
April 10, 2023
We will also work to build proper relationships with business partners that are exempt from consumption tax, based on the government’s published approach to the invoice system for tax-exempt entities and their business partners.
The JAMCO Group, to achieve its management philosophy and maintain sustainable growth, will fulfill its responsibility to respect fundamental human rights by the following.
- Promote initiatives that respect fundamental human rights based on international standards*, and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
- Comply with the laws of the countries and regions that we do business in based on international standards.
- To refrain from acting in ways that have a negative effect on human rights.
- To take immediate steps to begin the remediation process in cases where our actions have a negative effect on human rights, or where we have had a hand in such an effect.
- Operate internal or external hotlines for reporting the discovery of negative effects on human rights.
- Reduce and avoid risks that could result in negative effects on human rights.
- Promote human rights awareness activities that target all JAMCO Group officers and employees.
- Require our business partners to respect human rights and to work to avoid doing anything that may have a negative effect on those rights.
- Disclose information about human rights issues related to our business activities and discuss them with stakeholders as appropriate.
* “International standards” refers to ‘international standards regarding business and human rights’ that are represented by the following:
・”Universal Declaration of Human Rights & International Covenants on Human Rights” (United Nations)
・“ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles & Rights at Work” (International Labor Organization/ILO)
・”Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights” (United Nations)
Per our Compliance Code, JAMCO Group pledges to observe applicable laws, international rules, internal regulations, and other regulations, and behave properly in accordance with firm ethical standards and a sincere social conscience. On the basis of this code, we observe Japanese laws and ordinances in accordance with our respect for the rights denoted in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, prohibiting any and all discrimination on ethnicity, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, etc., as well as child labor, forced or excessive labor, and harassment. We also respect the fundamental rights of employees, including freedom of association, collective bargaining, and a minimum wage. We also call on these matters to be observed throughout our supply chain.
The CSR Promotion Committee centrally supervises matters relating to labor and human rights for the Group. With the Executive Officer in charge of Sustainability Promotion as Chairperson, the CSR Promotion Committee convenes periodically and otherwise as required to promote overall activities relating to human rights, including training and responses to risks to such rights.
The JAMCO Group operates reporting points appropriately and undertakes continually to build efficacious policies to allow prompt discovery and correction of human rights violations.
We have established internal and external compliance hotlines (contact points for whistleblowing and consultation and inquiries concerning harassment, etc.), which accept anonymous inquiries. Staffers with a strict duty to uphold confidentiality, for consultation both internally and externally, strive to respond to whistleblowing and inquiries as sincerely and promptly as possible in cooperation with relevant internal departments and external consultants and attorneys. Our internal regulations, which stipulate specific operating procedures, mandate the protection of whistleblowers to prevent unfavorable treatment toward them, as well as periodic training and other methods to ensure accurate understanding and widespread awareness of the whistleblowing and consultation hotlines and how to contact them. They also require that efforts be made to improve operation.
Since FY2023, the JAMCO Group has been conducting human rights due diligence in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The status of progress is as follows.
In FY2024, for target locations in Japan and overseas, we reviewed applicable laws and regulations and internal
company regulations and conducted interviews with top management as well as human resources and procurement departments. We also conducted a survey of all executives and employees at overseas locations. Together with external specialist organizations, we identified and assessed human rights risks within our business. We also initiated study seminars within and outside the company to promote understanding of human rights.
Additionally, we performed basic information analysis of major supply chains in order to visualize their human rights risks and conducted surveys of 10 selected representative companies. We share the results of such risk analyses with people in charge of procurement within Group to validate the information and exchange opinions.
Note also that we conduct annual CSR surveys of all those we do business with, including a risk assessment
relating to human rights.
The JAMCO Group will continue to conduct human rights risk assessments on an ongoing basis, discuss appropriate responses with the people involved based on the results, and otherwise bolster our efforts to promote human rights due diligence initiatives.
In its efforts at instruction relating to human rights, JAMCO Group distributes its Compliance Handbook to all officers and employees. It presents Guidelines for Action relating to respect for basic human rights as follows.
- We respect the basic human rights of persons whom we come in contact with in any and all situations.
- We do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, nationality, creed, sex, age, socioeconomic status, place of origin, sickness, disability, etc. Nor do we discriminate on the basis of gender or against sexual minorities.
In addition to regular training for officers and employees, in FY2023 we conducted training for management and executives at our overseas Group companies. Awareness of human rights among officers and employees is improving annually.
In our regular business activities, there are opportunities for contact with persons having various outlooks and values, including customers, business associates, and persons in our local communities, as well as our coworkers on the job. As a foundation of social responsibility, we instruct our employees to meet with all persons with mutual understanding and respect and dignity, rather than rejection.
Anchored in the aviation industry, JAMCO Group devotes infinite consideration to the safety and quality indispensable to expand our business, supplying high added-value products and services positioned to harness our rich technical expertise. This is our bold aspiration to excel as a sustainable corporate entity, thereby contributing to the creation of an equally sound and sustainable social fabric. To achieve this goal, we believe it is essential that the human rights of our officers, employees and customers (including business partners; the same applies hereinafter) are respected and that an appropriate working environment is secured. The JAMCO Group “Guidelines on Customer Harassment” have been formulated with this belief in mind.
If we determine that a customer's demand, speech or conduct fall under the “Definition of Customer Harassment” set forth below, we may discontinue further transactions or dealings with that customer.
We will take a firm stand against customer harassment, including reporting same to the police and taking other appropriate legal measures as necessary.
Our Group defines customer harassment as actions taken by customers that meet the following three criteria:
❶A demand, speech or conduct by the customer;
❷ Where the means or manner of achieving the demand, etc. is deemed unreasonable or inappropriate by social standards in light of the content of such demand, speech or conduct; and
❸ Where such means or manner harms the working environment of our employees.
We consider the following conduct by customers to constitute customer harassment based on the above definition:
- Violence, slander, insults, threats, discriminatory speech or conduct
- Intimidating speech or conduct, excessive demands
- Prolonged restraint (refusal to leave or not letting an employee return to work), repeated unreasonable demands, persistent inquiries
- Excessive demands for apologies
- Photographing employees or facilities without permission
- Posting and slander on social media and/or the Internet
- Sexual remarks or conduct
- Attacks or demands directed at individual employees
We will implement the following measures to prevent customer harassment incidents, ensure a smooth response to any incidents that do occur, and provide support to
victims.
- Establish a response system for customer harassment incidents
- Implement internal training to familiarize employees with what constitutes customer harassment and the system for responding to it, and to ensure employees do not engage in customer harassment against personnel at external companies such as our contractors or partner companies
- Provide care to employees who have experienced customer harassment
The JAMCO Group will contribute to the Group’s sustainable growth and creation of a better society by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion of human resources, setting up a workplace environment where employees with various backgrounds can play an active role.
JAMCO Group has established various systems to promote the work-life balance of our employees in order to create a workplace environment where our diverse human resources can work vigorously and rewardingly, and maximize their abilities.
We have devised a General Employer Action Plan, promoting balancing work with raising children, thereby responding to such matters as questions of returning to work after childcare leave and children on daycare waiting lists. We are establishing an environment at our Tachikawa primary business facility allowing preferential use of the corporaterun daycare center run by tenant owners. We are also adopting telecommuting to respond to employees’ needs regarding childcare, which is widely used by male as well as female employees.
JAMCO will continue to evaluate and enhance the creation of a comfortable work environment together with its employees.
On May 13, 2024, we were notified by the Director of the Tokyo Labor Bureau of our qualification as a general employer that satisfies the standards of Kurumin certification. Kurumin is a certification granted by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare that recognizes companies supporting childcare. It is granted to companies that have formulated a general employer action plan based on the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children, have achieved the goals set in
their plan and met certain criteria.
We introduced a GLTD system starting in FY2022, creating an environment where employees can enjoy peace of mind as they focus on their recovery if they had become unable to work, helping them to return to work as soon as possible.
To create an environment where all employees can manage both work and childcare, and can demonstrate their abilities to the fullest. Also, to support the development of the next generation, and to promote activities by female employees, we have formulated the following action plan:
1. Next Generation Development Support
(Planned period: April 1, 2023– March 31, 2026)
Goal 1: Introduction of hourly paid leave system
<Implementation details>
● April 2023 onwards - Discussions with labor union, determination of operations and system.
Goal 2: Provide work experience opportunities to develop human resources for the aviation industry
<Implementation details>
● April 2023 onwards - Holding factory tours, internships, etc.
2. Women’s Activity Promotion Plan
(Planned period: April 1, 2023–March 31, 2026)
Goal 1: Increase the percentage of women assistant managers to 10% or more. (11.00% as of March 31, 2025)
<Implementation details>
● April 2023 onwards - Create an environment in which women can work more easily through support for the formation of networks among women, and through initiatives in femtech. Provide opportunities and training to make women aspire to managerial positions through education, workshops, etc.
Goal 2: During the plan period, maintain a 100% childcare leave acquisition rate for female employees, while aiming to maintain and improve the childcare leave acquisition rate for male employees (50% or higher) to promote male participation in childcare.
<Implementation details>
● April 2023 onwards - Thoroughly inform employees about the childcare leave system. Support a mooth
return to work for employees taking childcare leave.
* Other work-life balance support programs such as Childcare Flexible Work Hours, Overtime Duty Exemption, Late-Night Overtime Exemption, Childcare Leave Returnee Program, Family Care Assistance Leave, etc. are also available.
* Available to full-time employees, part-time employees and contract employees.
We aim for all employees, including managers, to take 8 or more days of annual paid leave, and the achievement rate as of March 2025 is 100%. Starting in fiscal 2025, we have begun reviewing our systems to accommodate diverse annual leave needs. This includes making it possible for employees to take annual leave in hourly increments.
We regularly hold meetings of an Overtime Reduction Council, with participation from both labor and management, aimed at reducing overtime hours. We continue to hold discussions based on the actual situation regarding various issues faced by each organization.
We are able to prevent overwork and other problems by simplifying overtime management by employees and managers alike by such attendance system functions as alerts.
In addition to undertaking toward making better workplaces on the basis of coordination between labor and management, we secure work agreements with the JAMCO Labor Union, having sincere discussions on concerns to be resolved and directions for the company to take, including wages, hours, health and safety, and employee welfare and benefits, thereby building a positive trust relationship.
We also periodically convene meetings of the Central Labor-Management Council, where opinions and information are exchanged on various subjects to improve the contents of programs and policies on the basis of attendance by the President and CEO and the rest of core management.
As of the end of FY2024, 706 employees were JAMCO Labor Union members, accounting for 100% of eligible employees.
In FY2024, we established our “Guidelines for Remote Work.” We are working on measures to enable flexible workstyles for employees, including the ability to work from home one day a week without any specific reason.
The JAMCO Group is continuously working to create employment opportunities and promote the active participation of people with disabilities.
Each Group company strives to create a work environment in which people with disabilities can work together in comfort. We are also actively promoting employment at Orange JAMCO Corporation (100% owned by our company; 32 employees as of March 2025), a special subsidiary established in 1999 that is entrusted with auxiliary work within factories. The employment rate of people with disabilities is 3.3% (as of March 2025), well above the legally required rate of 2.5%.
We will continue our efforts to promote the abilities of those with disabilities and increase their motivation to work.
We consider human resource development the foundation that contributes to realizing our Management Philosophy and sustainable corporate growth, and we are setting down implementation structures, descriptions, etc., for the education and training that are the key policies for said development in our internal regulations and methodically carry out same.
Having made “work through the aviation industry to supply high value-added products and services harnessing rich technical expertise” one of our basic principles of management, JAMCO provides products and services that meet customers’ needs while making ensuring flight safety and enhancing quality our top priority. Honest and fair ethics, specialized and sophisticated knowledge, skill, and ability, and extensive experience are required of human resources that support and realize this. In recent times, there have been concerns such as responding to new risks and creating new business opportunities through such as alterations in industrial structures and advances in digital technologies, and a need has also arisen for human resources capable of responding to such concerns as well. To systematically and continually develop such human resources as these, we are establishing and operating education and training systems, promoting human resource development while reevaluating the substance of such systems as required and as appropriate.
We have set down implementation programs, educational systems, etc., relating to education and training in our internal regulations for education and training. The educational system consists of the following items. The positioning of each training program is shown in the educational system diagram on the next page.
Hierarchical training is configured of entry-level training for newly promoted employees and follow-up training. Its objective is comprehension of the roles expected of these positions, improvement of corresponding abilities, and acquisition of thoughts, techniques, etc., of solving problems confronting them at work.
This is training for selecting candidates for future management and developing them at early opportunities.
It imparts realization while making such employees recognize business environments and motivating selfawareness and changes in actions, and aims to improve management abilities.
Another crucial management concern is promoting women’s activity, and we are carrying out training through training programs for female leaders and leadership candidates that motivates them to comprehend and have
self-awareness
We conduct various curricula toward improving corporate international competitiveness including overseas dispatch programs, training programs at language schools, e-learning and online English conversation.
We are systematically conducting specialized skill education by each Group for our employees to acquire internal and official qualifications and specialist knowledge, skills, techniques, etc., as required for their work.
We conduct training as called for with the objective of cultivating general and specialist knowledge in such areas as compliance and information security according to changes in various laws and ordinances, changes in societal conditions and business environments, etc.
We are building programs for self-directed learning in selfdevelopment, including various types of remote education and e-learning contributing to individual career enhancement and skills improvement.
In recent years, we have been focusing on promoting the following two points in human resource development:
A crucial concern for our company is the development of globally-oriented human resources capable of exercising leadership on the international stage, such as in business with major US and European aircraft manufacturers and airlines the world over, or in overseas Group facilities.
We are conducting such programs as dispatches to language training programs at US colleges and universities and short-term study abroad at language schools in the Philippines, with the objective of absorbing different cultures and customs, improving language utilization abilities in environments near areas of business, and building a platform as globally-oriented human resources, rather than merely becoming more proficient at languages.
Citing HRX, or Strategic DX Human Resource Development, as a primary concern in JAMCO Vision 2030, we are striving to build an organization that creates innovation through human resource development and accelerating initiatives.
We have also formed an HRX Working Group and have designed and implemented a human resource development program that will adapt all company officers and employees to the DX
We believe that each and every one of our employees are the most important management resource, and that employee growth drives JAMCO’s sustained progress. We are undertaking the human resource development that forms the basis thereof and promoting creating an attractive workplace environment where employees can work energetically. We are also instituting a fair and equitable evaluation program whereby employees can work in a highly motivated manner.
We survey employee awareness every two years unless otherwise indicated, and communicate findings companywide, including to management. Turning to annual stress checks, we work to elevate employee satisfaction and engagement, through such as distributing detailed feedback reports to concerned parties and giving guidance on specific measures for improving workplace environments.
For sustainable growth, we are working to acquire human resources that meet our desired image of having a globallyoriented viewpoint and mindset, being strong-willed and able to think and act on their own, able to cooperate with their surroundings and generate greater power, and striving to the utmost with a sense of responsibility.
We impart our particular image of working at JAMCO in the hiring process through such efforts as symposia, interviews, and keeping in touch with probable recruits, thereby avoiding mismatches after hiring.
Turning to keeping human resources in place, we conduct such policies as new employee support programs and new employee supplemental education to drive improved post-hiring ease of working and job satisfaction.
We also have career development programs in place and operate career rotation programs and succession plans to keep each and every employee’s motivation up and allow them to exercise their abilities.
In terms of benefits, we are establishing such initiatives as providing full-fledged leave programs for work-life balance and services for finding carer support, as well as telecommuting and reduced hours programs, to effect a balance between childcare and caregiving on the one hand and work on the other.
Ensuring occupational safety is the most important foundation of our business and a duty to society. JAMCO’s basic policy is to raise awareness of health and safety and create a workplace environment where anyone can work safely and with confidence in good mental and physical health. As organizations that promote health and safety activities, JAMCO has established the Occupational Safety and Health Central Committee, which is chaired by the executive officer in charge of Human Resource, as well as an Occupational Safety and Health District Committee for each district, and these organizations work in a methodical manner.
* In JAMCO, the people in charge of safety and health in each district (supervisors of safety and health managers, safety managers, health managers, safety and health promoters and industrial physicians) are all assigned according to the number of employees.
* JAMCO assigns a dedicated operations chief as stipulated in the Industrial Safety and Health Act of each district.
In FY2024, JAMCO strived to create a “safe and secure” working environment and worked on the following priorities.
FY2024 Priorities
- Provision of health and safety education in order to raise the level of health and safety
- Strengthening of the employee health management system
- Mental health care initiatives
- Strengthening initiatives to address long working hours
- Requests to temporary staffing agencies for support and cooperation with health and safety activities
To protect the health of employees, JAMCO has set in place an environment for maintaining health. This includes providing employees with education on hierarchical mental health in addition to mandatory stress checks. We have also made it compulsory for all employees to have physical health examinations, provide support for employees who are over a certain age to have a comprehensive medical checkup, and have established an external helpline that accepts health consultations 24-hours a day.
We are working to raise employee safety awareness every day, such as by informing employees about how to respond to occupational accidents and earthquake disasters, implementing safety and health education for employees at factory sites, and conducting employee safety confirmation drills.
In January 2025, Group company Tokushima JAMCO Corporation attained 7,000 consecutive accident-free days.
For over 28 years since December 1996, the Corporation has operated without a single work-related accident that necessitated an absence from duty. This remarkable record was made possible by the safety awareness and efforts of all past and present employees.
Going forward, we will work to extend such accidentfree records by elevating safety awareness and providing comprehensive safety education.
JAMCO contributes to society by providing high quality products and services that meet customer satisfaction, all while prioritizing safety and quality.
As the top priority in its Basic Principles of Management, JAMCO spares no effort in working to “Ensure flight safety and strengthen our quality.” Anchored in the aviation industry, we devote infinite consideration to the safety and quality indispensable to expand our business, supplying high addedvalue products and services positioned to harness our rich technical expertise. This is our bold aspiration to excel as a sustainable corporate entity, thereby contributing to the creation of an equally sound and sustainable social fabric.
JAMCO directly contributes to safe operations by manufacturing and maintaining aircraft and aircraft equipment. We strive to improve the quality of our products and services, guarantee safety, and build customer trust by creating a solid framework for the safety and quality management systems of the JAMCO Group, working to foster a culture of safety and to improve quality across the Group, and reliably implement the PDCA cycle.
Our Safety Vision
Principle of Safety First
“Ensuring aviation safety is our Company’s most important foundation and its responsibility to customers and society.”
Principle of Legal Compliance
“We comply with relevant laws and regulations and work together in pursuit of aviation safety.”
Principle of Continuous Improvement of Our Safety Management System
“In order to ensure aviation safety, all personnel will continue making concerted efforts to administer and improve our safety management system.”
JAMCO works with Group companies to promote aviation safety together. Departments with responsibility for promoting aviation safety take a comprehensive and integrated approach to hazards, risks, and unsafe ncidents
while all personnel work together to ensure customer safety and drive progress in aviation.
Our Quality Vision
The JAMCO Group will work with a sense of pride and responsibility to deliver high-quality aviation products and services to our customers that instill trust and confidence.
In order to fully ensure quality control, JAMCO is focused on strengthening the quality management system by establishing a good cooperation between the manufacturing, quality assurance, quality audit, and inspection divisions.
JAMCO is actively committed to providing high quality products and services that satisfy customers by establishing, implementing, and maintaining quality policies that align with the business of each organization in accordance with the requirements of JIS Q 9100 and the quality policy established by the top management.
Our business requires an advanced quality assurance system that is specific to the aerospace industry. So, we have acquired JIS Q 9100 “Quality Management System” and ISO 27001 “Information Security Management Systems” certification, as well as certification from aviation bureaus in Japan and other countries, and are building quality assurance and other systems that are suited to the various demands of our business.
Please see our corporate site for more details on acquisition of certifications.
The JAMCO Group strives to build fair and sound relationships with our business partners by always conducting business honestly so that we can develop together with them.
JAMCO has been promoting procurement that adheres to social norms in accordance with the laws and ordinances of each country and region. However, in response to growing social demands in recent years, we think that it is necessary to work with our business partners on CSR and to fulfill our responsibilities to society more actively. We share procurement policies with our Group companies and are cooperating with our business partners to promote initiatives throughout the supply chain.
The JAMCO Group has established a procurement policy, requires business partners to comply with it, and promotes CSR activities throughout the entire supply chain.
1. Building Sound Business Relationships
• Maintain healthy business relations with our partners by placing value on relationships built on mutual understanding and trust.
• Adhere to fair and appropriate terms in all of our transactions.
• Encourage transactions that value corporate social responsibility, evaluating the financial condition, technological strengths, corporate stance and other aspects of our business partners.
2. Fair Selection of Business Partners and Appropriate Procurement
• Select business partners based on objective purchasing standards such as quality, price, and delivery time, using fair judgment to do so.
3. Elimination of Questionable Relationships

We hereby declare that we will concentrate our efforts on the following matters in order to build new Partnerships by promoting business tie-ups, and co-existence and coprosperity, with our supply chain and value-creating business partners.
1. Co-existence and co-prosperity throughout the supply chain, and new business tie-ups transcending corporate scales, affiliations, etc.
We will strive to improve the value added throughout the supply chain by approaching, through our direct suppliers, suppliers that exist beyond them (from Tier N to Tier N+1), and aim to build coexistent and co-prosperous partnerships with our business partners through business tie-ups that will transcend the existing trade relationships, corporate scales, etc. Through this connection, we will also give advice and other assistance to help our business partners to introduce teleworking and formulate their BCP (Business Continuity Plan) from the viewpoint of business continuity in case of a disaster or other emergency, as well as of workstyle reform.
Individual items
We will strive to prioritize procurement from companies that actively engage in environmental initiatives and offer products and services with low environmental impact.
2. Compliance with “Promotion Standards”
We will comply with desirable trade practices between parent enterprises and subcontractors (“Promotion Standards” under the Act on the Promotion of Subcontracting Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and will actively work to correct trade practices and commercial customs that may prevent us from building partnerships with our business partners.
(1) Method of setting prices
We will not demand unreasonable cost reductions. When determining transaction prices, we will respond to requests from subcontractors to engage in discussion, and fully discuss prices such as by taking into account possible effects of increased labor costs, so that the resulting prices may include proper profits for the subcontractors. When entering into a contract including determination of transaction prices, we will, if acting as a parent enterprise, indicate and deliver to our subcontractors the relevant contract terms in writing.
(2) Cost-bearing responsibility for tasks such as mold management
We will conduct transactions of molds using contract templates as a reference, promote the disposal of unnecessary molds, and refrain from requesting subcontractors to store molds at no cost.
(3) Terms of payment by promissory notes, etc.
We will pay subcontracting fees in cash as much as practicable. Should we pay those fees by promissory note, we will not require our subcontractors to pay discounts and other fees. We will also endeavor to set the payment terms as within 60 days from the invoice date.
(4) Intellectual property and knowhow
We will conduct transactions based on guidelines and contract templates for intellectual property transactions, and we will not urge our subcontractors to enter into any unilateral non-disclosure agreement or take advantage of our trading position to demand that they disclose their knowhow or transfer their intellectual property rights without compensation.
(5) Shifting of burdens associated with workstyle reforms and other factors
To enable our business partners to address workstyle reform, we will not place orders with short delivery times or make sudden changes to our specifications without bearing the appropriate costs. In case of a disaster or other emergency, we will give due consideration so that we may not impose commercially unilateral burdens on our subcontractors, and, upon resumption of business operations, we may continue to maintain our trading relationships to the extent possible.

- SAQ Response Results for FY2024
(company-wide average)
We have been conducting CSR surveys since FY2017 to assess the current state of CSR at our Group companies and business partners. In FY2024, we conducted surveys using the CSR/ Sustainable Procurement Self-Assessment Questionnaire (Common SAQ)* formulated by the Global Compact Network Japan (GCNJ). We have used this questionnaire since FY2021.
Fifty-four companies (15 business partners of the Aircraft Maintenance and Manufacturing Group, 36 business partners of the Aircraft Interiors Group, and three Group companies) responded to the surveys. The survey results are shown in the figure below.
The average score across all items has continued to increase, from 71 points in FY2022 to 73 points in FY2023 and 74 points in FY2024. We will continue working to support subcontractors who we determine need to improve, by mutually confirming issues together and aiding them in making improvement.
* The CSR/Sustainable Procurement Self-Assessment Questionnaire (Common SAQ) deepens mutual understanding among all companies involved in the supply chain, and enables them to practice CSR Procurement on a global level, by having them answer SAQ questions. It was designed to be consistent with international standards such as the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), ISO 26000, and the GRI.
Tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold are four minerals (conflict minerals) produced by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries, and the funding of armed insurgents causing atrocities in these countries through the sale of these minerals has become an international problem.
So as to not facilitate conflicts in those areas, JAMCO declares we do not use materials recognized as conflict minerals, and we are responding appropriately to requests for reviews and reports on conflict mineral regulations from customers.
We are also requesting suppliers of raw materials related to these four kinds of minerals to submit a pledge that the materials we purchase not to contain conflict minerals.
As member of local communities, the JAMCO Group values its relationships with everyone in those communities. JAMCO promotes volunteering and other social contribution activities such as interaction with local residents, education/academic support, and joint research and development through industry-government collaboration.
One of our materiality items is “Enhancement of trusting relationships with our supply chain,” and we believe that it is essential to cooperate with all our suppliers to contribute to sustainability.
In this feature, we look at some of our suppliers, selected from those that respond to our annual CSR surveys, who are pursuing their own sustainability activities.

Gentle to the Earth, Gentle to Fireflies
As we gradually transition to LED lighting, we are also reducing power consumption with the use of motion sensors.
There is a natural firefly habitat behind our company building, and we are talking with local residents to avoid light leakage from the building at night.
Local Regions, the Planet, and Personnel
In 2024, we formed an SDGs team of volunteer employees that began operations under the direct leadership of our president.
The team’s first act was to formulate an SDGs Declaration. From a range of issues, the team discussed those that were particularly important to Cretas. They considered our company’s roots in the community and ranked three of them in order: Regional and Social Contributions, Consideration toward the Global Environment, and Creating Rewarding Workplaces.
We see regional contributions in particular as an area in which we can express the unique character of Cretas. This is because we support local relay marathon races, sponsor local traffic safety associations, join cleanup activities, and otherwise contribute to communities at our three locations; Hachioji in Tokyo, Isahaya in Nagasaki, and Tainai in Niigata.
Going forward, we will continue to listen to our employees and stimulate more SDGs activities.

Kureko hosts technical trainees from Vietnam and provides them with opportunities to learn Japanese manufacturing practices.
After learning Japanese in Vietnam, the trainees come to Japan eager to learn more. During their three-year stay, we teach them a wide range of engineering and technical skills that they can use back in their home country. In this way, Kureko can contribute to the advancement of Vietnam’s manufacturing industries.
Comprehensive Oil Mist Removal
Lubricating oils are used for cooling and other purposes when cutting and grinding (machining) metals. When these lubricants contact high-speed processing tools and workpieces, they not only spatter as liquid, but also evaporate or disperses as fine mist. This is called “oil mist.”
The oil mist floating in a plant not only adheres to walls and floors, but can also have a negative impact on workers. For this reason, Kureko has worked hard to remove this mist.
Mist that is collected using covers over processing parts is removed using filters. Also, the lubricants are recycled in a process of resource circulation.
In this way, we maintain a clean factory and a worker-friendly environment.
