In recent years, activities aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been promoted in order to respond to various cross-border social issues. The medical care we are involved in is becoming more and more complex due to various problems such as the aging society in developed countries, rising medical costs, lack of basic medical care in emerging countries, and widening medical disparities, and companies, as members of society, are expected to contribute to solving these issues.
Under these circumstances, Nihon Kohden formulated its Long-term Vision, BEACON 2030 in 2020, and aims to contribute to solving global social issues and achieving the SDGs through its business and corporate activities. Under the previous Three-year Business Plan, covering FY2021 to FY2023, Nihon Kohden incorporated sustainability into its basic policy for the first time. The Company identified a total of 12 non-financial material issues related to the SDGs and has worked on addressing these issues.
In FY2024, we started the Three-year Business Plan, BEACON 2030 Phase II, and moved into the phase of the practice of sustainability management. We partially reviewed our material issues and KPIs based on the results and issues in Phase I. We will also work on solving medical, environmental, and social issues through embracing sustainability as the essence of our business activities.
We continuously aim to realize a sustainable society and increase our corporate value by further strengthening the coordination between business strategy and sustainability strategy, and creating both economic and social value.
