Initiatives for SDGs

What Are SDGs?

In September of 2015, the "United Nations Sustainable Development Summit" was held at the UN Headquarters.
The outcome document thereof, "Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," was unanimously adopted by 193 member nations and contains Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SDGs consist of 17 goals with 169 associated targets. In order to achieve these goals by 2030, the participation and contributions of companies are expected.
