Implementation Report

Part 1: SDGs Addressed by Companies

On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, we held the first online seminar on “SDGs Addressed by Companies,” a joint project with the United Nations University SDG Corporate Strategy Forum.
The first session began with an orientation by Ryuji Kitajima, Executive Director of the SDGs Corporate Strategy Forum, followed by a lecture entitled “UNU SDGs Initiatives and SDGs Corporate Strategy Forum” by UNU Senior Vice Rector Daikan Oki, followed by a presentation on JT’s SDGs initiatives by Yoshimasa Mukai, Director of Sustainability Management Department of Japan Tobacco Co., Ltd. (JT).
In the lecture by Senior Vice President Oki, he explained examples of SDGs initiatives from the perspective of “water” issues, which are not often faced in Japan. In addition, a wide range of explanations were given, including specific goals for achieving the purpose of the SDGs Corporate Strategy Forum, which is to “aim to realize a sustainable society and contribute to the long-term and sustainable growth of companies through the penetration of the SDGs into corporate management and strategic departments,” as well as SDGs goals related to students’ job hunting.
In his presentation, Mr. Mukai explained the overall picture of JT, followed by a detailed explanation of the JT Group’s common foundations: respect for human rights, reduction of environmental impact and exercise of social responsibility, and implementation of high-quality governance and business norms. In addition, there were presentations on interesting content for learning about JT, such as a story about the development of cigarettes with low health risks.
After the presentation, a discussion was held between Senior Vice President Oki and Dean Mukai during a question-and-answer session with the audience, and the results of the questionnaire were highly satisfactory from the participating students.

Part 3: SDGs Addressed by Companies

On Tuesday, December 8, 2020, we held the third online seminar on “SDGs Addressed by Companies,” co-hosted with the United Nations University Forum on Corporate Strategy for SDGs.
This time, after a presentation on the case studies of Toyota Motor Corporation’s SDGs initiatives, a discussion was held with faculty members from a university in Kyoto and the Senior Vice Rector of the United Nations University.
In her presentation, Ms. Tomomi Otsuka, Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer of Toyota Motor Corporation, introduced that the company is working on initiatives with the vision of “transforming society into possibilities” and the mission of “mass-producing happiness” beyond that.

Specifically, he introduced initiatives unique to automobile companies, such as “using the electricity of the car as a mobile generator to supply power in the event of an emergency” and “joint development of a towed-type mobile toilet.” In addition to installing toilets, the initiative to install toilets in about 200 public schools in India has helped children get into the habit of washing their hands and using the toilet cleanly for the next person, and by installing toilets so that women and children can not only go to the toilet safely, but also make it a habit to clean the toilet themselves. He introduced initiatives such as eliminating the sense of hierarchy in society (changing the awareness that cleaning toilets is a job for people of low status).

After the presentation, a four-person discussion was held with Tomomi Otsuka, Ritsumeikan University President Yoshio Nakatani, Ryukoku University Vice-Rector Katsutaka Shiraishi, and United Nations University Senior Vice Rector Daikan Oki as moderator. A lively discussion was held that contributed to the SDGs initiatives through the exchange of opinions based on the content of Toyota Motor Corporation’s initiatives, the presentation of how companies and universities approach the SDGs, and the sharp questions and answers from the audience. The results of the questionnaire conducted after the seminar also showed a high level of satisfaction, and both the speakers and the audience were able to spend a meaningful time.
