Sustainability GX

Sustainability and Green Transformation (GX) are drawing attention as new standards in corporate management. These will require major changes in companies' business models and operating policies in order to balance the protection of the global environment with economic growth. To build a sustainable future, we must move from the pursuit of short-term profits to value creation with a long-term perspective. We are entering an era in which companies must seek new approaches to maintain and strengthen their competitiveness while fulfilling their social responsibilities.
