JT publishes sustainability report

Japan Tobacco Inc. has published the JT Group Sustainability Report FY2014, outlining its sustainability initiatives and performance for the year ending 31st December, 2014. The report is available at http://www.jt.com/csr/report/index.html.

JT said the report contained Standard Disclosures from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. However, it was not yet ‘in accordance’ with the Guidelines. But it was aiming for its FY2015 report to be in accordance with the GRI G4 ‘Core’.

“We are only at the beginning of our journey and we recognize that there is much more to do,” said Mitsuomi Koizumi, president and CEO of JT.

“We must – and will – make further strides on sustainability if we are to continue our success.

“As we implement improvements in the years to come, we look forward to an even more prosperous future that will benefit not only the Group but society in general.”
