Establishment

ENEOS Holdings was established on April 1, 2010, as JXTG Holdings through the joint share transfer by Nippon Oil Corporation and Nippon Mining Holdings, Inc. On July 1, 2010, all the businesses of both Group Companies were integrated and reorganized under JX Holdings, resulting in the incorporation of three core business companies:[3]

In April 2017, JX Holdings and TonenGeneral Sekiyu K.K. merged to form JXTG Holdings. JXTG Holdings was renamed in June 2020 to ENEOS Holdings.

• ENEOS Corporation – petroleum refining and marketing
• JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration – oil and natural gas exploration and production
• JX Nippon Mining & Metals – mining and metal

Controversy

In August 2022, ENEOS CEO Tsutomu Sugimori resigned for what was described at the time as personal reasons. The following month, however, the company confirmed that the reason for Sugimori's departure was due to allegations that he sexually harassed and injured a woman working at a hostess bar in Okinawa, which were later substantiated. The company's statement followed a report about the incident in a weekly magazine.[6]

In December 2023, Takeshi Saito was dismissed as the president of ENEOS after an independent investigation validated claims that he inappropriately hugged a woman at a social gathering while intoxicated.[7]
