－How did you learn about the SDGs and your impressions and impressions after learning about the SDGs?
I think it’s great that they’re taking this approach internationally. It seems like they’ve really thought through each goal and the details. While more and more domestic companies are aware of this program, not many have fully embraced it yet, so I’d like to help spread the word.
－What do you think are the benefits of companies working on the SDGs?
Because there are so many different goals to choose from and they’re not tied to any one field, lots of companies can use them for any of their goals. Looking at things that seem unrelated from the company’s perspective can help you find unexpected initiatives that will help broaden the company’s perspective.
－What are your current challenges in addressing the SDGs?
First, we need to figure out how we’re going to approach this as a company and what we can realistically work on. Even if we’re open to multiple subjects, we still need to decide on the specifics of how to tackle them. Given the wide range of fields, if we don’t set our own numerical goals, we might not be able to move forward.
