Tokyo, 18 March 2015 - The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee announced today that it has selected JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation (JX Nippon Oil & Energy) to become an official Tokyo 2020 Gold Partner.
JX Nippon Oil & Energy, Tokyo 2020’s sixth Gold Partner, is attributed the category "Oil, Gas & Electricity supply services" and will join Tokyo 2020’s efforts to ensure the successful delivery of the Games.
Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori said, "It gives me great pleasure today to announce that we have concluded a Tokyo 2020 Gold Partner agreement with JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation. Although the company has been attributed the category of "Oil, Gas & Electricity supply services", JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation has recently launched business operations in the vitally important field of hydrogen energy. I look forward to an increased awareness of the potential benefits of achieving a ‘hydrogen energy society.’ We very much hope that the company will contribute to promoting and further building momentum in the lead up to the Tokyo 2020 Games through its 11,000 ENEOS-branded service stations across Japan."
JX Nippon Oil & Energy Representative Director and Chairman of the Board Yasushi Kimura, said, "We consider it a great honour to be given this opportunity to support the 2020 Games and Japan’s national Olympic and Paralympic teams as a Tokyo 2020 Gold Partner in the category of "Oil, Gas & Electricity supply services". JX Nippon Oil & Energy plans to supply fuel for Games-related vehicles and related facilities with petroleum, gas and electricity. By leveraging our extensive network of service stations - Japan’s largest - JX Nippon Oil & Energy will contribute to the creation of widespread excitement and momentum for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games."
