The JGC Group's Integrated Report serves as an important disclosure document to help investors make long-term investment decisions, and we strive each year to enhance its content. For the 2025 Integrated Report, we incorporated various opinions received in advance from shareholders and investors into the planning process.
This year marks the final year of our Medium-Term Management Plan, and amid two consecutive years of losses, the progress of the plan and our project execution framework have drawn significant attention from the stock market.
In response, we crafted the main message:
“Although fiscal years 2023 and 2024 delivered challenging results, the direction of our Group’s long-term management vision, the ‘2040 Vision,’ remains unchanged. While urgently rebuilding our EPC execution framework, we are steadily advancing initiatives toward sustainable growth.”
In particular, we provided detailed explanations on the restructuring of the overseas EPC execution framework that incurred losses and on the roadmap for value creation within the Group.
Additionally, the Group continued to focus on expanding the disclosure of non-financial information. To help stakeholders better visualize our initiatives, we presented not only specific information on our efforts but also clarified the underlying concepts, progress, and challenges behind them.

Enhanced information disclosure for shareholders and investors is also sought online, through a more informative corporate website.
We are committed to keeping shareholders, investors, and an array of other stakeholders informed through developing or updating webpages related to functional materials manufacturing and sustainability, among other topics.

The Group holds periodic executive—employee roundtable discussions for participants to speak freely and share in our vision. As a part of this, the JGC Council^*1 was established to provide a relaxed forum at which top management and employees can discuss the future of the Group, with the understanding that the development of the Company and the improvement of employees’ livelihoods are two sides of the same coin, and as such inseparable. Since its establishment in 1972, over 100 roundtable discussions have been held between the top management and employees of each
company. Furthermore, after transitioning to a holding company structure, roundtable discussions^*2 have been introduced between the four companies.
In addition, visits by top management to construction sites are carried out continuously. Every year, the top management and executives from operating companies visit construction sites within Japan and overseas with the aim of fostering a culture of safety, and to engage in dialogue with employees at these sites.
The Group also uses various media such as Company newsletters and Company-wide bulletin boards to promote initiatives to better communicate Company management policies and issues to employees, and are implementing communication activities to enhance Group employees’ sense of belonging.

Over the past several decades, the JGC Group has conducted various training programs for engineers and students specializing in fields such as chemical engineering from resource-producing countries for the purpose of strengthening relationships with such countries. Many of the participants in these programs have contributed to resource development and industrial development in their own countries after returning home, which has also led to increased business for the company with these countries.

The JGC Group actively promotes domestic procurement where plants are built, and when sophisticated equipment is ordered, our engineers may go on-site to provide technical assistance tailored to local vendors' expertise and facilities. Viewing these close ties as an asset, we take the initiative in providing technical assistance to vendors.

• Promoting procurement in emerging markets

At overseas construction sites, the JGC Group believes that collaboration with the local community is essential for the smooth execution of projects. The Group is currently conducting a construction project in Basra, Iraq. Academic decline in postwar Iraq has been significant, and educational investment is insufficient, particularly in Basra Province. Unemployment also remains high among young people, with jobs scarce even for university graduates. Against this backdrop, since 2022, we have been providing programming education, science experiment classes, and digital math education using tablets, with the aim of making long-term contributions such as providing educational opportunities for children and creating employment opportunities for young people. By fiscal year 2024, approximately 17,000 people had participated in programming education, about 10,000 in science experiment classes, and about 13,000 in digital math education.

Each year at its Kitakyushu facility, JGC C&C has held workshops with chemistry experiments for local elementary students. For a functional materials manufacturer, this represents a meaningful way to interact with and contribute to the community. JGC C&C will continue to kindle an interest in chemistry through these opportunities, which also educate people about their business activities. We will continue to build positive engagement with the community.
