RAREDISEASEProjectThe RARE DISEASE Project is a cross-sectional internal awareness-raising project for all JCRemployees to further increase theirunderstandingof rarediseases,with “What JCRcando”as itsmotto.We collect information and share it internally to deepen employeesʼ understanding of rarediseases.We also support and cooperatewith patient groups and support organizations that helppeoplefightrarediseases.At JCR, we promote awareness within the company by conducting fundraising activities andencouraging employees to wear official badges for Rare Disease Day, distributing reports onparticipation by employees in events organized by patient groups and organizations that supportpatientswithrarediseases,andarranginginternallecturesforouremployees.Foreachlecture,weinviterarediseasespecialistsandmembersofpatientgroupstotalkaboutdiseasemechanismsandtheirexperiences.In January 2019,weheld our first publicseminar titled “LearningMore about RareDiseases” in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture,whereJCRisheadquartered.Attheevent,lectures were given by a rare diseasespecialist, a leader of a patient supportgroup,andthemanagerofMomijiHouse,afacilityforseriouslyillchildrenandtheirfamilies operated by the National Centerfor Child Health and Development.Through this seminar, we strove toincreaseknowledgeofrareandintractabled i seases pr imar i ly among Ash iyaresidents.

RareDiseaseDayFrom FY2015, JCR has been a supporter ofRareDiseaseDay(celebratedglobally).Thereare patients suffering from rare andintractablediseasesaroundtheworld,butthetotal number of these patients is small, andthe disease mechanisms are complicated.Therefore,almostnoprogresshasbeenmadein research and development of therapeuticsandmethodsofdiagnosesforsomediseases.RareDiseaseDayactivitiesbegan inSwedenin2008withtheaimofimprovingthequalityof life of patients with rare and intractablediseases through better diagnoses andtreatments. It is hoped that these activitieswill create a bridge between patients andsociety, and help to increase awareness ofrareandintractablediseases.

FundraisingActivitiesTo commemorate Rare Disease Day, JCRencourages employees to wear official RareDisease Day badges and raises funds withinthe company in February every year. Fundsraised are donated to organizations workingto provide information to patients with rarediseases, encourage cooperation withhealthcareprofessionals,promoteresearchtodevelop therapies, and raise awareness insociety.

JCR has been implementing a wide range of measures to mitigate its environmental impact,including reducing CO2 emissions and effectively using water resources. For example, we haveworkedto transition toLED lightingatallcompany facilitiesandshiftallourcommercialvehicles,including thoseusedat plants and theResearch Institute, tohybrid cars andelectric vehicles.

In 2016, we installed a solar power generating system at ourResearch Institute (in Nishi-ku, Kobe). Moreover, we have taken steps to improve energyconsumption in production activities in cooperation with The Kansai Electric Power Company,Incorporated.
