JTB Corp., is pleased to announce that it signed a commitment to uphold the Ten Principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption advocated by the United Nations Global Compact (hereafter UNGC) and became a registered participant on June 28, 2024.

UNGC is the world's largest sustainability initiative aiming to build a sound global society through partnership between the United Nations and the private sector (companies and groups). The signatories to UNGC are required to submit a CEO statement of continued support for the Ten Principles in the areas of human rights protection, elimination of unfair labor practices, environmental responsibility, and prevention of corruption and to make continuous efforts to realize those principles.

JTB Group's Mission is "to foster peace and global interconnectedness through the creation of opportunities for meaningful human interaction," which precisely means to contribute to building a sustainable society. We are currently promoting sustainability initiatives on a global level based on our Sustainability Policy formulated in 2022. In order to solve environmental and social issues and move towards a brighter future, it is essential that various organizations collaborate across organizational boundaries. We take the opportunity of becoming a signatory to the UNGC to further strengthen our initiatives to respect human rights in full compliance with global standards and promote environmental responsibility together with our stakeholders, thereby actively fulfilling our role as a responsible member of the global society.
