How Kenji is building a better working world
“I focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The international ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ adopted by the United Nations in 2015 consists of 17 goals and 169 targets to realize a sustainable world. In order to achieve SDGs, it is necessary for both the government and the private enterprise to play a role, and I support them both with Climate Change and Sustainability Services.”
