Consideration for the Environment

Theme

For Decarbonization and the Spread of Recyclable Eyewear

In order to realize its vision, “Magnify Life,” through its business activities, JINS aims to create new value by developing environmentally friendly products and services. We consider responses to climate change, utilization of limited natural resources, energy conservation, and waste reduction as important issues, and are making various efforts to address them in our business activities. In particular, plastic, which is used as a material for eyewear, has become a major issue in a social situation that is moving toward the elimination of plastic, and we are continuing our efforts to reuse and recycle.

Medium- to Long-term Goal

Create circulation
A future without consumption

There are a number of environmental issues on this planet, with the economic activities of humans at the root. If this is the case, can we make a change in the way people consume? We would like to address environmental issues with the attitude of challenge that is typical of JINS. First of all, to achieve carbon neutrality. To increase the ratio of renewable energy to 100% in order to achieve virtually zero CO2 emissions within the Group. At the same time, for products, to promote zero waste products and shift to 100% recyclable eyewear. Regarding the environment as well, we will continue to try to create “new standards.”

2050 Create circulation. A future without consumption.
