Basic Policy, Priority Issues, Long-Term, Medium-Term and Annual Targets
Basic Policy
Based on our mission of building a "good company" for our employees, customers, business partners, shareholders, and society, the Shimamura Group is promoting sustainable "ESG response by Shimamura" through our main businesses in order to realize a sustainable society.
Sustainability Priority Issues (Material Issues) and Long-Term Targets
In order to realize a sustainable society, the Shimamura Group positions various issues related to the
environment, society, and governance at each stage of the supply chain as management issues, and takes
action to resolve those issues.
Our management philosophy and mission are in line with the SDGs advocated
by the United Nations, and we believe that our corporate activities and efforts to solve issues will
contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. We believe that nine of the 17 SDGs are particularly relevant to
us. We have incorporated six of them into our sustainability priority issues.
