Our Commitment to ESG and SDGs

From the time of our founding, the Tadano Group has held the firm belief that a company can exist only when it is in harmony with the people around it and greater society. Under this belief, we have carried out our business activities while prioritizing harmony with our stakeholders. In the spirit of "great harmony," we want to contribute to a better global environment as a part of the society. As we step forward into our second century of business operations, we seek to achieve long-term growth as a company. These ideas are the reasons for our efforts to promote ESG and SDGs as set out in our Mid-Term Management Plan (21-23).
Tadano has also long held our vision of "Pursuing Further Excellence for the World and the Future." This vision aligns with the aims of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will aim for "Pursuing Further Excellence for the World and the Future" through our products, services, and business activities through the behavior of our individual employees.

The Mid-Term Management Plan (21-23) sets forth "Pursuing Further Excellence, Focusing on the Tadano Red Arrow" as one of our basic policies. The definition of "Further Excellence" is being "a robust company," "a company that continues to evolve," "a company that benefits society and customers," "a company that earns the esteem of the greater world," and "a company that earns the pride of its employees." We believe that meeting these five conditions is the prerequisite for "Further Excellence" and that aiming to achieve each of these conditions will result in contributing to the SDGs.
Going forward, we plan to assess the current status of each of our initiatives and accelerate such initiatives even further, and thereby contribute to society.

We started "Engage in ESG and SDGs" activities from FY 2019 and in the first year invited outside lecturers to provide in-house SDG lectures. We also engaged in executive discussion at an all-officer meeting session dedicated to the topic of SDGs.
In FY 2020, as the first year of our full-scale efforts, we established the SDGs Promotion Committee with overall responsibility for promoting activities of the Group and the SDGs Promotion Group as a dedicated body for implementing such activities. We have also held study groups for all employees in Japan and overseas for internal dissemination. From the perspective of preventing the spread of COVID-19, these study groups were held online except for those held on-site at plants, etc. and we deepened everyone's understanding about "What are ESG and SDGs" and "Why is Tadano engaged in ESG and SDGs," while exchanging small group discussions as well.
