In conjunction with these initiatives, JAS places a strong emphasis on the health, safety, and well-being of its workforce. The company is committed to upholding ethical business practices and encourages responsible practices among its suppliers throughout the supply chain.

Outstanding Performance Metrics

EcoVadis assesses companies based on four criteria, and JAS has enhanced its scores in all categories this year. The scores are as follows:

• - Environment: 95/100, up from 91
• - Labor and Human Rights: 88/100, a significant increase from 74
