Policy for SDGs

With the company creed of “Boundless creativity and social contribution,” we contribute to a sustainable society through company growth. For this purpose, we will take initiative in helping to solve the global issues indicated in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs; shared goals that the international community aims to achieve by 2030), and in the area of ESG (environmental, social and governance), based on an appropriate governance system. We will meet the expectations of our stakeholders around the world, including customers, shareholders, investors, employees, and suppliers. In April 2020, we reviewed materiality based on growing interest in sustainability and narrowed our focus to the eight most important fields.
