Support Initiatives and External Assessments

Support Initiatives

Participation in the United Nations Global Compact

The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is an international initiative that calls on companies and organizations to demonstrate responsible and creative leadership and take action as good corporate citizens for the achievement of sustainable growth. Signatories of the UNGC are required to comply with the “The Ten Principles” set in the areas of human rights, labor standards, the environment, and anti-corruption, and implement voluntary measures with a strong commitment from their senior management.

Nabtesco signed the UNGC to show its support for the initiative in April 2014 and is also a member of Global Compact Network Japan (GCNJ). We have been proactively participating in symposiums and study groups organized by the GCNJ, including the study groups on ESG, reporting, environmental management, supply chains, anti-corruption, disaster risk reduction (DRR), the SDGs, human rights education and the WEPs*. Through these events, we deepen interaction with other participating companies and learn from advanced examples how to better foster sustainability-oriented management at our company.

The Nabtesco Group has taken proactive measures for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By setting targets that have strong relevance to our management materiality issues among the 17 SDGs, and thereby solving these issues, we contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Science Based Targets (SBT) Initiative

Our long-term greenhouse gas emissions goal was approved in 2017 by the Science Based (SBT) Initiative as a science-based target. We also obtained certification for the “Below 1.5°C target” in 2021 as a result of setting a new long-term target by giving first priority to carbon-free measures in our efforts related to management materiality.

The SBT Initiative was created in 2015 jointly by the CDP, the World Resources Institute (WRI), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the UN Global Compact for the purpose of promoting greenhouse gas emissions goals in line with scientific initiatives aimed at holding the temperature rise to less than 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.
