Initiatives for SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted at the Sustainable Development Summit held at the United Nations Headquarters in 2015.
The SDGs consist of 17 goals and 169 targets that are common issues for the entire international community, regardless of level of development. As a common language that transcends different cultures and positions, the SDGs aim to ensure that no one on the planet is left behind.
The Shinko Group aims to contribute to the realization of the kind of society that meets the SDGs through efforts to address diverse sustainability issues, with a focus on coexistence with local communities, consideration for the global environment, and kindness toward people.

Basic Policy for Achieving SDGs

Through the implementation of the Shinko Way, our corporate philosophy, we aim to harmonize with our diverse stakeholders and contribute to the sound development of society by supporting lives of abundance for people around the world through manufacturing. This basic policy aligns with the achievement of the SDGs adopted by the United Nations.
