Environmental Policy
As a responsible corporate citizen, the S-Pool Group recognizes the global environment as an important topic and undertakes measures and initiatives to achieve a sustainable society.
Spurred by various developments, including the Paris
Agreement in 2015 and the global agreement toward achieving
a 1.5°C 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 these social demands, the S-Pool Group has
formulated the Environmental Policy and Action Guidelines at
right as part of efforts to achieve sustainable growth for
the Group. In this way, we plan to advance eco-friendly
corporate management based on harmony between our business
activities and measures to protect the environment,
including our responses to climate change. Our generation is
responsible for the bulk of climate change. We believe our
generation must implement the needed solutions rather than
leaving the issue to the generations to come. We're
committed to contributing to a sustainable society, with
each and every employee putting into practice the following
