What are SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)?
SDGs stands for "Sustainable Development Goals" and are international goals to be achieved by 2015 adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2030.
Under the pledge to "leave no one behind", we have established an action plan for people, the planet, and prosperity: poverty, health and well-being, education, job satisfaction, and climate change. It consists of 17 goals and 169 targets such as volatility.
The SDGs are universal, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries themselves, and are being actively pursued in Japan.

As urbanization progresses worldwide, the role that the construction industry can play is becoming increasingly important.
Because built structures are the foundation of cities, building better structures that can be used for a long time can contribute to creating sustainable cities.
GOAL12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
Both designers and users of structures are held accountable for reducing the burden on the environment. For example, extending the lifespan of structures and using them more efficiently can improve the efficiency of resource use.
