CSR Initiatives

JAST Sustainability and CSR

At the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Summit, an action plan was adopted which advocates 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 targets for ending poverty, protecting the earth and enabling all people to enjoy peace and prosperity. Achieving the SDGs requires the entire world to take action, making it more important than ever that companies fulfill their responsibilities to society.
At JAST our corporate and management philosophy dovetails with the pursuit of a “sustainable society,” since our very business of creating and providing ICT services and solutions helps to address the increasingly complicated challenges facing society.
Additionally, as a longstanding CSR initiative, we have incorporated the Seven Key Principles and Seven Core Subjects of the ISO 26000 international standards into our business operations. Moreover, we have obtained environmental management system-related ISO 14001 certification and are, thus, continually running through the PDCA cycle, as well as ensuring the continuation and improvement of sustainability priority issue initiatives within the PDCA cycle.
