Aiming for greater depth and a more solid
footing in CSR activities

For Japan Energy to continue to be trusted and needed as a member of society, themost important issue going forward is to add greater depth and create a more solid
footing in our CSR activities, and we are strengthening our framework for achieving
these objectives. We are addressing the three major areas of compliance, theenvironment, and customer satisfaction through a system of introducing speciﬁcthemes in each workplace (Plan), having all employees be aware of and participate
in those plans (Do), reporting semiannually and evaluating the results of those
activities (Check), and subsequently enhancing on those activities (Action).

Compliance

The Environment

Customer Satisfaction

While also obeying laws
and regulations, eachdirector and employee actsin the interest of society,while also conforming tosocial norms and complying
with sound corporate
ethics in a faithful manner.

Each individual director andemployee strives to reduce
environmental impact in all of ourbusiness activities, in order to handover a beautiful global environment
to the next generation.

While doing their job, eachdirector and employee
constantly thinks about
What can I do to satisfy
customers? andconsequently establishes
goals to achieve that.

Responsibilities and Activities in the Supply Chain
Coming face-to-face with people and the earth through our energy business. Japan Energy provides a stablesupply of the energy that is indispensible to people s daily lives. To do this, we have built an integrated supply
chain from gas and oil ﬁeld exploration, development, and production to marine transportation, reﬁning andstockpiling, distribution, and a variety of services provided via JOMO service stations.
We pay particular attention to the environment and safety throughout the entire supply chain. As such,
Japan Energy is keenly aware of its social responsibility as an integrated energy company, and as a result
works toward creating a society in which people can live their lives with peace of mind.

Oil exploration, development and production

Reﬁning and stockpiling at oil reﬁneries

Manufacturing and stockpiling of LP gas

Crude oil transportation

Manufacturing of lubricating oils

Manufacturing of petrochemical products

The Japan Energy Group s oil development businessencompasses projects inside and outside Japan, from
exploration (ﬁnding underground oil reserves) todevelopment (drilling wells; building processing, storage,
and shipping facilities; etc.) and oil production.
Our transportation activities are concerned with safety
and environmental protection. When transporting crude oilin large tankers from the Middle East, we strive totransport the oil safely and prevent pollution from leakage
into the sea, and to reduce energy consumption throughimproved transportation technologies.

10 JAPAN ENERGY CSR Report 2009

Crude oil is transported from oil producing countries to our
reﬁneries. At the reﬁnery, the crude oil is processed into fuel oils
such as gasoline, and in addition petrochemicals, lubricating oils,
and LP gas are produced as well. The stockpiling of crude oil andthe stable supply of petroleum products are also importantfunctions of reﬁneries.
The Japan Energy Group operates three oil reﬁneries within
Japan, with the highest importance given to maintaining safetyand disaster prevention and environmental protection. To
achieve such objectives, all employees at reﬁneries also
participate in TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) activities.
JAPAN ENERGY CSR Report 200911

Addressing the expiration and reinstatement of
temporary rates for gasoline excise tax and gas
oil delivery tax
The temporary rates of gasoline excise tax and gas oil
delivery tax were suspended in April 2008, but were
subsequently reinstated the following month.
This led to expectations of a short-term concentrationof demand, and we therefore worked with dealerships
operating JOMO service stations to ensure a stablesupply of gasoline and gas oil.
Some service stations, however, did not have
suﬃcient inventories, and there were cases in which
service stations had to ask their customers to go toother service stations, but there were no major
disruptions resulting in accidents.

Domestic transportation (coastal tankers)

Marketing of petroleum products

Delivery terminals and LP gas secondary terminals

Marketing of LP gas● Propane● Butane● Autogas

Marketing of lubricating oils
● Lubricating oils for automobiles● Industrial-use lubricating oils

Domestic transportation (tank trucks)● Refrigeration lubricants, etc.

Marketing of petrochemical products● Paraxylene● Benzene● Normal paraﬃn● NS Clean● Heavy aromatic solvents, etc.

Petroleum products are hazardous materials, and it istherefore important that we transport them safely from oil
reﬁneries to delivery terminals and JOMO service stations. The
transportation methods used are by sea with coastal tankers
and by land with tank trucks.
Delivery terminals receive the petroleum products produced
at reﬁneries for stockpiling and shipping, and play animportant role as an intermediate base for providing those
products to local JOMO service stations.
In addition to ensuring safety, we also work to reduce theenvironmental impact by pursuing eﬃciency in transportation.

10 JAPAN ENERGY CSR Report 2009

JOMO service stations safely provide customers withpetroleum products such as gasoline and engine oil. Highsafety standards are set to withstand unforeseen events
like ﬁres or earthquakes, while careful safety inspections
are carried out and environmental protection measures ‒including preventing gasoline from evaporating into theair, preventing soil pollution due to leakage, and recycling
waste materials ‒ are also implemented.
We are also opening Value Style stations to support thedaily lives of local residents with generous hospitality anda comfortable environment.

Japan Energy had already been pursuing eﬃciency through various means including increased capacity prior to
the enactment of the revised act and has been working to reduce the amount of energy used in transportation.
Under the Medium-Term Environmental Plan, we have set the target of a 4% reduction in energy used by ﬁscal

Japan Energy uses two basic means to transport its
petroleum products ‒ land transport (tank trucks, trucks, andrailway tank cars) and marine transport (coastal tankers).
During ﬁscal 2008, we increased the capacity (upgraded) of
one coastal tanker, upgraded tank trucks to use less fuel, andreviewed our transportation methods (shifting to greater useof transportation by railway and ship).

●Energy Conservation at Reﬁneries
At Japan Energy, we strive to use energy eﬃciently as ameans of curtailing CO2 emissions.
During ﬁscal 2008, we implemented measures that
reduced energy consumption by approximately 26,000
crude oil equivalent kl, but with increased operations at
the No. 1 Aroma Production Facility at the Kashima Oil
Reﬁnery, there was a slight increase in total energy
consumption.

Emphasizing Awareness froma Customer Perspective
As part of our customer satisfaction management, we havebeen conducting an Awareness program at JOMO service
stations since 2005.
The things that we see every day and casually take for
granted can lead to new discoveries if we just look at themfrom a diﬀerent perspective. This awareness can come fromquestions, impressions, or ideas from the station staﬀ. This
concept of awareness leads to service and hospitality that
goes beyond customer expectations. Examples ofawareness that our service stations have acted on to
improve customer service include making air pumps and tire
wax available in the area where cars are wiped dry after
being washed. Individual service stations are able to act on
their own in response to these Awareness Note written bystation staﬀ to improve the service provided.
Approximately 1,000 JOMO
service stations around Japan
implemented the Awarenessprogram during ﬁscal 2008. We
distribute examples of usefulsuggestions to other JOMO
service stations so that they canbe shared across the Japan
Energy Group, which also has
the added beneﬁt of raisingstation staﬀ awareness andthereby raising the level ofcustomer-centered service
provided.

We received 8,661 submissions during ﬁscal 2008, of
which 18 were selected for inclusion in the Bouquet ofChildren s Stories: Volume 39. Copies of this book were
donated to social welfare facilities, and distributed
nationwide via JOMO dealerships and aﬃliated companies.
The JOMO Children s Fund was jointly established in 1992
by Japan Energy along with the Nationwide JOMO
Association and the Nationwide LP Gas JOMO Association,
both of which are associations of JOMO dealerships, as away to establish a social welfare role for the Bouquet ofChildren s Stories. The entire amount received frompurchases of the bookby
the Group s dealerships, aﬃliated companies, and employees
is deposited in this fund, and subsequently donated to theJapan National Council of Social Welfare (Zenshakyo) at eachyear s award ceremony for the JOMO Children s Story Award.
Zenshakyo uses these donations to administer JOMO
Scholarship Grants, which provide ﬁnancial assistance forchildren in child welfare facilities, mother-and-children s
homes, and foster families to attend junior colleges,
universities, or technical schools after graduating from highschool. Donations totaled ¥23.0 million in ﬁscal 2008, andscholarships were given to 280 students in March 2009.

Our school has received assistance from JOMO Scholarship Grants for seven students
who have consequently gone on to college or technical schools. Some of thosestudents have already graduated, and are living their dream by working as staﬀ inchildren s facilities.
There are many children who would like to pursue higher education but ﬁnd it
impossible for ﬁnancial reasons. We therefore always encourage students wishing tocontinue their studies to apply for a JOMO Scholarship Grant because they are
relatively easy to receive and do not need to be repaid.
I would like to thank Japan Energy for its assistance to date, and ask for its
continued support to help children realize their dreams.
