The philosophy of sustainability and a sustainable society is respected and initiatives to address global environmental problems are also being demanded of the textile industry.
While maintaining a balance with our economic activities as a company, the Kurabo Group will address these issues earnestly and will contribute to the creation of a better future society through the creation of new value.
Kurabo International places particular importance on the following environmental elements.
Sustainability action at Kurabo International incorporates some of the goals of the SDGs defined by the United Nations.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the international goals for 2016 to 2030, described in the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" that was adopted at the U.N. Summit in September 2015.
SDGs are made up of 17 goals and 169 targets intended to achieve a sustainable world, pledging to "Leave No One Behind".
SDGs are not limited to developing countries, but rather are universal goals that should be adopted by developed countries.
