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 our company, 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 the seven core subjects of ISO 26000, recent social issues, and issues that specifically affect our company, we position our high-priority initiatives as our 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.

The SDGs are a collection of 17 goals and 169 targets adopted internationally by the United Nations in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. The logos placed in the chart on the next page indicate the goals that the Achilles Group is contributing to through the respective initiatives.
In the area of corporate value creation, a shift has begun away from tangible things toward the intangible.
Similarly, the value that Achilles Group provides to society, which derives from the core competencies that we have cultivated through collaboration with our partner companies, is constantly changing flexibly in line with society’s needs.
The world continues to undergo rapid change as we recover economically from the COVID-19 pandemic, yet we still face geopolitical risks and must respond to the climate crisis.
The Achilles Group aims to help society overcome these difficulties and achieve sustainability through the products and services we provide.
