Sustainability Goals
SDG-Based Initiatives
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were unanimously adopted by world leaders at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in 2015. The SDGs outline priority global issues to be resolved by 2030 and specify common targets for the world. They indicate specific opportunities to put the planet on a sustainable path, including eliminating poverty and hunger, and pursuing clean energy, climate action, and peaceful societies.
In 2019, Casio incorporated SDG efforts into its business operations by establishing sustainability goals for each business unit to accompany its Medium-Term Management Plan. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, Casio decided to revise the Medium-Term Management Plan itself and to reconsider its sustainability goals accordingly. At present, Casio is reviewing the sustainability goals in terms of contributing to social issues through its businesses, planning primarily around business dimensions, and reducing environmental impact through its businesses, planning based on functional dimensions. In this process, Casio is also taking into account changes in its operational structure designed to fulfill the new Medium-Term Management Plan.
Casio will announce the sustainability goals and KPIs for each business on this website, as soon as they are finalized.
While aiming to maximize corporate value in 2030, Casio sees the three years of the current plan as a time for restoring profitability and for investing into new growth areas. This period is also a time for building the foundations of sustainability management. Further, in the process of reviewing materiality, Casio redefined the social issues that each material topic affects, accomplishes, and contributes to. Casio is currently continuing to formulate business strategy based on a medium- to long-term perspective and will revise strategy in accordance with progress while continuing to address the challenge of solving social issues through its business activities.
As each business domain contributes solutions to different social issues, Casio intends to specify sustainability goals and KPIs for each business domain and to steadily reflect the issues in its business activities and implement continuous initiatives. Casio will post its sustainability goals and KPIs for each business domain on this website when they have been finalized.
