Involvement with SDGs
The Relationship between the SG Holdings Group and SDGs
As a comprehensive logistics group, the SG Holdings Group aims to achieve sustainable growth by addressing social issues through its business activities. In determining the sustainability initiatives the SG Holdings Group promotes, we have utilized the SDGs from a social perspective and identified the closely related SDG items. Through various initiatives, we will strive to contribute to achieving the SDGs.
What are SDGs?
An abbreviation of "Sustainable Development Goals." Seventeen goals and 169 targets adopted at a UN summit in September 2015, where it was agreed that countries worldwide should achieve them over the 15 years from 2016 to 2030 to create a sustainable society. Companies are also required to take action to achieve the goals.
Relationship between Sustainability Initiatives and the SDGs
The SG Holdings Group has established the following seven initiatives. Each Group company is implementing them in line with their themes. Closely related SDGs are also listed.
| Initiatives | Related SDGs |
|---|---|
| Providing Safe and Secure Services |
The SG Holdings Group conducts business using public roads, and minimizing the occurrence of traffic accidents caused by vehicles is our responsibility. One of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations is to "halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents by 2020" and we are committed to continuing to contribute to the achievement of this goal. |
| Promoting Environmentally Friendly Business Activities |
Due to the environmental impact caused by its use of energy in vehicles and various types of equipment in its distribution facilities in the logistics business, the SG Holdings Group is tackling Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy and Goal 13: Climate Action. |
| Building an Organization that Respects Individuality and Diversity |
The SG Holdings Group' main business is logistics, and that business involves a lot of people throughout the entire value chain. Establishing an environment enabling participation by diverse personnel and maintaining and raising the morale of our people are important tasks. As many of our workplaces are predominated by men, it is our aim to realize Goal 5: Gender Equality and Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. |
| Creating New Value Through Comprehensive LogisticsSolutions |
We will contribute to the reduction of environmental impact, the creation of livable communities, and the development of industry through the improvement of efficiency of logistics and the utilization of technology. |
| Contributing to Local Communities |
As a corporate group that does business in a wide range of places, both domestically and abroad, we are actively committed to the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the economy, and society and the environment. |
| Promoting Sustainable Procurement |
The SG Holdings Group is a corporate group supported by many business partners (vendors). We will not only conduct business with consideration for human rights and safety, but also cooperate with business partners in a variety of areas such as contributing to environmental issues and local communities, ultimately contributing to the achievement of the SDGs as a whole. |
| Building a Responsible Management Foundation |
Corporate governance, compliance, and risk management are the foundation of our business. These are important issues, connected to all our business activities. Initiatives to construct sustainable management systems contribute to our efforts to achieve SDGs overall. |
