JT Group[i] published its Integrated Report 2026 based on its results achieved in 2025. The topic of this year’s report, Turning Change into Strength, highlights the Group’s ability to leverage changes in the business community and society as a catalyst for transformation and development. The 2025 results add a concrete dimension to this topic: JT Group’s consolidated revenue was 3,467.7 billion yen, or around 20.51 billion euro[ii], while its adjusted operating profit amounted to 902.2 billion yen, or approximately 5.34 billion euro.
The document integrates financial results, business strategy, risk management, human capital, climate and social indicators, and corporate governance. It presents sustainable development as a system that creates long-term business value: investments in production, technologies, people, communities and the environment support the company’s resilience and its ability to grow.
The 4S model, incorporating the interests of consumers, employees, shareholders and society, remains a backbone of JT Group’s approach to management. The Company is convinced that striking a balance between these interests forms the basis for profit and corporate value growth in the mid- and long-term. “Changes in the operational environment entail simultaneous growth of both business risks and opportunities. We are steadily evolving and moving forward to take advantage of these opportunities. It is precisely this ability that has been the source of JT Group’s strength. We will continue to develop and generate long-term value”, Mr Takehiko Tsutsui, President and CEO of JT Group, said.
