Environmental Slogan
All for One Earth
JTEKT is the company that continually contributes to society with the provision of No. 1 products & Only One technologies, by uniting the world's top class technologies and passions for manufacturing.
In "JTEKT's MVV: Mission, Vision and Value" which are shared by all employees worldwide, "Connecting technology to bring smiles to the Earth and all who work on it" and "For the Earth" express our commitment to tackling environmental issues for the future.
"All for One Earth" is the slogan that motivates a united JTEKT group to address issues for protecting our irreplaceable Earth.
Meanings incorporated in "All for One Earth"
Just like 'No.1 & Only One' that JTEKT has been and will continue to be committed to, the term 'One' carries several meanings.
Firstly, the spirit of "All for One." This is the spirit of the JTEKT group uniting as one to undertake environmental activities. The second meaning is the spirit of "For One Earth".
Our products are used in a wide range of fields, including those related to automobiles. Therefore we believe we possess great power to influence the planet's environment. By leveraging this power positively, we hope to contribute to our "One irreplaceable Earth". Finally, "One" represents the spirit of becoming "No.1 & Only One" in regards to environmental activities.
JTEKT will take on environmental activities revolving around this message filled with these three meanings.
JTEKT's Environmental Initiatives
Basic Concept
Human activities are exceeding the Earth's environmental carrying capacity, confronting us with three global crises: climate change, loss of biodiversity, and pollution.Globally, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in September 2015 and the Paris Agreement in December of the same year. In May 2024, the Sixth Basic Environment Plan of Japan set forth the establishment of a "circular symbiotic society" as the ideal society to which policies should aim, requiring companies to maintain and restore the environment in their economic activities.
JTEKT group understands the impacts to the environment derived from its corporate activities and sets the environment as one of the important management issues.
Under the "JTEKT's MVV", we uphold our environmental philosophy and pursue continuous initiatives towards realising a sustainable society. Our goals are aligned with Paris Agreement and we are working through a variety of engagements.
SDGs:Adopted in September 2015. The 193 countries of the United Nations gathered in New York and agreed to establish new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to realize the richer, inclusive, sustainable and robust world. These SDGs set targets for accomplishment by the year 2030.
