Stakeholder EngagementSustainability

Fundamental Approach

At JERA, we are committed to proactive communication with our stakeholders, who include customers, business partners, local communities, shareholders, and investors, among others. This allows us to better understand their needs and expectations to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and to act in good faith on their behalf.

Healthy two-way communication with our stakeholders will continue to inform and improve our operations and services going forward. Furthermore, our efforts to disclose both financial and non-financial information in a timely, appropriate manner lead to proper assessment by our stakeholders in addition to helping us achieve sustainable growth and maximize our corporate value.
