Sustainability
We at the Achilles Group strive to be a company that contributes to building an affluent and comfortable society. To do this, we must continue creating new value for businesses, society, and the future. With the keywords of reassurance, health, comfort, fun, and energy conservation, we will continue to improve and evolve our plastic processing technologies built up since our founding to provide customers with products that better support their lives as well as inventive products. We implement an ongoing cycle of improvements to earn the trust and meet the expectations of all of our stakeholders.
Through dialog with stakeholders as a member of society, the Achilles Group strives to expand its activities aimed at helping to solve social problems, and contributes to the sustainable development of society.
In line with this policy, the Achilles Group carries out its business activities while positioning eight issues as Achilles’ Materiality.
Based on our corporate philosophy, items related to social issues are identified (ISO 26000, recent social issues, company-specific challenges, etc.)
From the perspectives of “solving social issues through business activities” and “positive and negative impacts on society caused by business activities,” importance is evaluated using a matrix, categories are consolidated, and material topics are organized
After deliberation by Management Committee members and consideration of the evaluation by external directors, priorities are organized based on evaluations by outside experts and identified as “Achilles Materiality”
New social issues arising from changes in the external and internal environments are regularly added, and their importance is reviewed as needed
Based on the seven core subjects of ISO 26000, recent social challenges, and issues unique to our company, we position our most important initiatives as “Materiality.”
Strengthen the company’s business foundations, and promote a sustainable growth strategy
Build a fair, transparent governance system, and put in place a risk management system to enhance resiliency
Ensure product safety, implement quality improvements, and pursue manufacturing that meets the needs of society, in terms of safeguarding the environment, etc., and which offers inspiration
Strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, and promote efforts to reduce environmental impacts, in regard to water, waste, etc.
Implement initiatives for environmental conservation, including forests and biodiversity
Initiatives to create high-productivity workplaces that allow people to work safely and healthily
Develop global human resources with consideration for human rights and using diverse human resources
Implement initiatives relating to environmental conservation and respect for human rights throughout the entire supply chain
Place importance on communication with local communities and social contribution activities, and make contributions to community development
SDGs is the acronym of Sustainable Development Goals. They are a collection of 17 goals and 169 targets adopted internationally by the United Nations in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. The logos in the chart above indicate the goals that the Achilles Group is contributing to through the respective initiatives.
Fields of corporate value creation are beginning to shift from tangible things to intangible things.
Values that the Achilles Group provides, which have been born from the core competence cultivated through collaboration with partner companies, are also changing constantly and flexibly along with changes of society.
Society today is facing rapid changes such as changes in the tariff policies of the U.S., geopolitical risks, and actions taken for climate changes.
The Achilles Group will overcome these changes through the provision of sustainable products and services, and contribute to achieving a sustainable society.
