[SDGs : Sustainable Development Goals]
SDGs are international goals to be achieved by 2030 advocated in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that was adopted at the 2015 World Summit of the United Nations.
SDGs consist of 17 goals, including no poverty, environmental preservation, and reduced inequalities, 169 targets, and 232 indicators, and pledge that no one will be left behind. In order to attain a sustainable environment and society, all the countries, including developed countries, as well as corporations and citizens, are requested to make efforts toward the achievement of the SDGs.
Product development and SDGs
Our Performance Chemicals that we develop and supply are contributing to the realization of “More…” required in sustainability, such as “more energy-saving,” “less usage,” and “more durability.” We annually conduct a survey on which of our development themes contribute to SDG goals. According to the results of the survey, 86% of our development themes in FY2019, and 90.4% in FY2021 contributed. We recognize SDGs as “What society needs” and adopt development themes in consideration of further contributions. We continue to increase in the SDGs-related themes in the future.
