We believe that being actively involved in global social issues, including climate change, human rights, and racial inequalities and promoting initiatives to resolve them is both a mission and a responsibility of companies that are supported by limited resources and multiple supply chains as they go about their business activities. The Sanwa Group has been supporting safety, security, and comfort in people's daily lives through shutters, doors, partitions, and other products and services since before the words sustainability and SDGs came into widespread use. Originally, shutters were designed to prevent crime, but over time, the requirements have come to include fire and smoke prevention as well as antiseismic intensity. Newer requirements include waterproofing for torrential rains and wind resistance for increasingly intense typhoons. Additionally, our automatic doors and partitions can contribute as a measure to prevent the spread of infectious disease in an increasingly wide range of applications. We believe it is important to respond quickly to social issues and needs in the chaotic and rapidly changing environment of today.

Based on these principles, we have established the Sustainability Committee by the President and Representative Director of Sanwa Holdings, to promote sustainability-related initiatives more agilely and swiftly.
