Sustainability
We have adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework designed by the United Nations. Our entire company is working to achieve them as our environmental policy.
What are the SDGs?
In September 2015, at the "United Nations Sustainable Development Summit" held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the "2016 to 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" was adopted by the member states.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) consist of 17 goals to realize a sustainable world and 169 specific targets to achieve, leaving no one behind. We have embraced these goals along with many other Japanese companies.
