Environmental Policy
As a good corporate citizen, the S-Pool Group recognizes global environmental issues as an important topic and carries out responsible behavior and initiatives to achieve a sustainable society.
Spurred by various developments, including the Paris Agreement in 2015 and
the global agreement
toward achieving the 1.5℃ target at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of
the Parties
(COP26)
in 2021, the movement toward a carbon-neutral society has accelerated in
recent years.
In response to such social demands, the S-Pool Group has formulated the
following Environmental
Policy and Action Guidelines toward achieving our sustainable growth,
whereby we will seek to
advance eco-friendly corporate management based on harmony between our
business activities and
measures to protect the environment, including steps to mitigate climate
change.
