Four Key Values and the SDGs

At the core of the Sekisui House Group's corporate philosophy is a love of humanity: recognizing the irreplaceable value in each and every person, we maintain a fervent hope for the wellbeing of others and a sense of joy in others' joy, doing whatever we do in good faith and a spirit of service. This philosophy took root in 1989 with the unanimous approval of every group employee.

In 2005, we announced our Sustainable Vision targeting balanced management based on four key values that focus on sustainability as the cornerstone of our management. In 2006, we formulated 13 guidelines as guiding principles based on these four key values.

The Sekisui House Group declared its Sustainability Vision 10 years before the United Nations adopted its sustainable development goals, or SDGs. The SDGs were adopted in 2015 as common objectives of the international community in terms of maintaining the health of society, the economy, and the environment. Since establishing its Four Key Values and 13 Guidelines in its Sustainability Vision, our group has taken a direct approach to pioneering and implementing sustainability.

Many expect that, going forward, social issues will become more complex and increasingly global in nature. To address these issues, we are placing ever greater emphasis on implementing the SDGs and targeting “Society 5.0,” which is a vision of an optimized future society utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI).

We remain committed to enhancing our corporate value and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs through our business with diligence and a spirit of innovation.
