The Commitment of Top Management

JACCS started out in 1954 as a monthly installment payment service for department stores, which issued coupons and advertised for members. The Company’s founders were motivated by the desire to “make customers’ lives more affluent” and “make society more convenient.” The desire of our founders live on in the present-day JACCS Group, and we provide a broad range of payment services. Providing safe and secure services that offer a high level of convenience is JACCS’ raison d’être, and lies at the core of our business. The efforts of the JACCS Group have become part of the daily lives of its customers and member stores, and we believe that our efforts to support affluent lifestyles contribute to sustainability.

The JACCS Group recognizes that efforts focused on sustainability are an important management issue. To further reinforce the thinking that underpinned the Company’s founding, the JACCS Group has formulated its Basic Policy on Sustainability. In addition, to integrate this with its management policies, within its “MOVE 70” three-year medium-term business plan, which was launched in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Group has identified five areas of materiality as it strives—through the Group’s sustainable growth and business activities—toward solutions to environmental and social issues. Hence the Group is pursuing efforts in line with these five areas. Also within the MOVE 70 plan, one of the key policies describing how the Group should look in three years’ time is to “promote ESG management.” With ESG at its core, by pursuing measures that address—through its business operations—solutions to social issues, the Group aims to realize a sustainable society and enhance its corporate value.

In these endeavors, I look forward to the continued support and understanding of all our stakeholders.
