Main ESG Themes

Aiming to be a leading company in ESG management, and creating a sustainable society

The Sekisui House Group has formulated Sustainability Vision 2050 as a long-term goal reflecting our efforts in relation to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) management. Among the initiatives we have adopted to achieve our long-term vision, we have identified 13 key themes under the ESG trend as goals to be achieved during the period between 2020 and 2022. These correspond with the 17 goals of the SDGs (sustainable development goals) adopted by the United Nations, and we are making daily progress to contribute to the emergence of a sustainable society.
