JTEKT's "For the Earth" is one of the "JTEKT BASIC PRINCIPLE" shared by employees globally, expressing our determination to work on the environment 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"
Same as "No.1 & Only One" of the the "JTEKT BASIC PRINCIPLE", the word "One" entails various 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
The issues Japan faces are mutually correlated in terms of "environment", "economy" and "society", and growing increasingly complex. And internationally, SDGs（Sustainable Development Goals）was adopted in September 2015, and Paris Agreement was adopted in December 2015, which shows a trend toward a sustainable society.
In light of such circumstances, each company is also required to aim for a sustainable society and to improve the "environment", "economy", and "society" in an integrated manner.
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 TEKT BASIC PRINCIPLE, we promote ongoing activities to achieve a sustainable society by establishing the " Value Creation Model". 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.
