Our approach and commitment
As a manager of important infrastructure, JCCBI is aware that its activities have a major impact on the community and the environment.
Sustainable development is a key component of JCCBI’s mission, vision and practices. It therefore integrates sustainable development into the governance processes that guide the administrative and operational management of the assets under its responsibility.
