One in ten

Around the world, one in ten people faces hunger, and due to severe water shortages and economic hardship, many continue to be unable to obtain sufficient meals. In a global climate marked by wars and disasters, borderless support and cooperation are urgently needed.

elementary school

Around the world, 1 in 10 children still cannot attend elementary school. This is due to factors such as home environments, economic reasons, and unequal access to educational opportunities. Some children are engaged in child labor, and conditions in their countries and regions are likely contributing factors.

17

The SDGs consist of 17 goals that categorize issues spanning areas such as human rights, the economy, and the global environment. They encompass a wide range of themes, including eliminating poverty worldwide, advancing welfare and education, realizing a gender-equal society, addressing environmental issues, and promoting economic development across the globe.

Eliminating discrimination based on gender

Gender equality refers to aiming for a society in which every individual, regardless of being male or female, equally holds responsibilities and rights. It calls for eliminating discrimination and prejudice based on sex and means granting everyone the right to participate in and decide on all matters.

the year 2030

We aim to achieve all of the SDGs set by the United Nations by 2030. These are international goals consisting of 17 Goals and 169 Targets, established with a pledge to “leave no one behind” on our planet. They are being pursued as universal challenges that require efforts not only from developing countries but also from developed countries.

About 3.7 billion people

There are still many countries where the spread of the internet—indispensable for industrial development—has not progressed. In today’s world, where the digital revolution has rapidly amplified the influence of the IT sector, closing the information gap between developed and developing countries is a key challenge. It is necessary to improve quality of life by introducing new services and enabling access to education and healthcare remotely.

Innovation

Throughout human history, advances in science and technology have repeatedly driven economic and social development. In the context of the SDGs, innovation through science and technology is also promoting the development of systems aimed at energy conservation. Innovations that combat diseases afflicting people around the world—such as mosquito nets that help eradicate malaria—can likewise be considered forms of innovation.
