Sustainability policy

JTB-CWT contributes to the realization of a sustainable society based on its corporate philosophy of “Offer optimal solutions mainly in business travel field to support customers’ businesses and contribute to the society.” and through its internal and external corporate activities.

Efforts to achieve SDGs

JTB-CWT endorses the idea defined by the sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in September 2015 and, by making efforts to achieve these goals, promotes activities aimed at the realization of a sustainable society.

Materiality (important issue)

Based on the 17 goals and 169 targets defined as the SDGs, JTB-CWT has set issues that it should give priorities to in solving and themes of activities corresponding to them in light of their importance from external (stakeholders’) viewpoints, as well as their relations with and influences on JTB-CWT’s business activities.
JTB-CWT has extracted elements and values common to the set contents and drawn up three types of materiality. JTB-CWT expedites resolving the materiality through its internal and external corporate activities and keeps reinforcing these activities through the PDCA.
