Sustainability at Nagase Viita

Our Sustainability Policy

In September 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Summit adopted the outcome document, "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." The 2030 Agenda lists "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)", which consist of 17 goals and 169 targets, to be achieved by all stakeholders around the world, including in the business sector. This list includes resolving social issues such as poverty, hunger, inequality, and climate change. We continue to develop, manufacture and provide unique materials that enrich everyday life for all. Focused on the common goals for humanity in 2030, we will contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and improve corporate value by enhancing the development of new materials and solutions to our customers that contribute to resolving social issues and reducing environmental impacts of manufacturing.
