I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your continued support.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the number of domestic maintenance contracts reached a record high of 113,000 units, a net increase of 13,000 units from the previous fiscal year. Net sales were 49.3 billion yen (up 17.0% YoY) and operating profit was 8.6 billion yen (up 26.4% YoY), setting new record highs.
In terms of ESG initiatives, since promoting ESG management in the medium-term management plan VISION2027 announced in May 2022, the Company has been developing various initiatives, such as monitoring greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain, enhancing information disclosure, practicing health management, and strengthening the governance system by reviewing the structure of the Board of Directors. In recent years, human rights and other social issues have become closely related to the business activities of companies. In order for a company to achieve sustainable growth, it is essential not only to pursue economic value, but also to contribute to solving social issues and to earn the trust of society. The JES Group has recently formulated its Human Rights Policy, and by expressing its intentions internally and externally, the Group has made it clear to all stakeholders that it has a responsibility to respect human rights and prevent violations.
The JES Group maintains elevators and other equipment, which are part of social infrastructure. To that end, we consider "Quality Safety" and "Worker Safety Engagement" to be material issues. The JES Group puts the safety of elevator users first in our daily work.
Although the JES Group is an independent elevator maintenance company, we believe that our pursuit of technological capabilities and responsiveness comparable to those of manufacturers has led to continued business growth. As a company sought by customers and a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Prime Market, we have been and will be committed not only to business and financial growth, but also to addressing social and environmental issues, aiming to achieve sustainable growth and improve corporate value at the same time.
We look forward to your continued support.

Katsushi Ishida
Thank you all for your continued support of the JES Group.
Since the establishment of the Sustainability Committee in 2022, social and environmental condition surrounding us has continued to evolve.
The Sustainability Committee identifies issues related to each of the ESG domains of the JES Group, plans initiatives to tackle them, and works to realize a sustainable society with the cooperation of relevant departments and external organizations. Major initiatives in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 are as follows.
■ Enhanced disclosure of environmental information
In addition to disclosing emissions of greenhouse gases throughout the supply chain, we have detailed information on the steps we have taken to reduce emissions. The CDP score for 2024 was "B", improved by one notch from the previous "B -".
In addition, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, we obtained a statement from a third party regarding greenhouse gas emissions. We have also been certified by SBTi as a "Net Zero Target" for the reduction of greenhouse gases.
■ Establishment of health management
Securing human resources is one of the key issues for the JES Group.
By strengthening our health management system, we aim to establish ourselves as an organization where employees can lead fulfilling, comfortable and healthy lives in society and contribute to economic development.
JESHD was selected as one of the 2025 Excellent Health Management Corporations sponsored both by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi.
■ Formulation of anti-corruption policy
An anti-corruption policy was formulated for officers and employees.
The policy is designed to ensure that companies are operated in a sound manner based on ethical standards and compliance with laws and regulations. It aims to prevent fraud and corruption and strengthen the protection of trust in companies.
We hope that we continue to deliver the progress of the JES Group's ESG initiatives and our sincere attitude through the Sustainability Report in the future.
