The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a series of international goals for 2030 that were adopted at a UN summit in September 2015. They consist of 17 goals intended to realize a worldwide society where nobody is left behind, including global issues such as poverty, hunger, health, equality, infrastructure development, and climate change.
The SDGs comprise a series of universal topics that demand global action, not only on the part of emerging nations, but also advanced nations, and they require cooperation across a broad range of sectors, including national governments as well as corporations, local communities, and citizen groups. Currently, a broad range of organizations in Japan, from local governments to private-sector corporations, are working to realize a sustainable society.
TAKUMA has pursued businesses centered on use of renewable energy and environmental protection, for example waste treatment plants, water treatment plants, and energy plants, in keeping with its Company Motto of “Value Technology, Value People, Value the Earth”. Our business domain aligns closely with the society envisioned by the SDGs, and we will continue to work to help build a sustainable society by continuing to act as a leading company in our field and as an essential partner in society.

Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation |
Initiatives through our businesses | We're helping raise standards of living and expand technological innovation by supplying products and services that serve as essential infrastructure, including waste incineration plants, which play an essential role in maintaining public health and a pleasant living environment by preventing infectious disease, eliminating hazardous substances, and preventing soil, water, and air pollution; energy plants with large boilers and other equipment, which supply the heat and power needed by manufacturing plants; and water treatment plants, which prevent water pollution and other hazards. | Related Information | |
| Targets | 
Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable |
Initiatives through our businesses | By providing waste treatment facilities that go beyond processing waste and utilizing heat effectively to efficiently generate electricity to create new value for communities, for example by serving as disaster prevention facilities and energy centers, we’re helping build safe, resilient communities and living environments. | Related Information | |
| Targets | 
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns |
Initiatives through our businesses | By supplying waste treatment facilities (waste incineration plants, recycling centers, and biogas recovery plants), we’re working to reduce the volume of waste that must be incinerated, eliminate toxic substances through advanced flue gas treatment, and thereby prevent soil, water, and air pollution. In addition, we’re helping prevent the generation of waste and reduce the discharge of chemical substances and waste into the air, water, and soil by effectively utilizing waste as a resource instead of incinerating it, for example by recovering biogas and processing waste to recycle it. | Related Information | |
| Targets | 
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts |
Initiatives through our businesses | We supply products and services, including Energy-from-Waste plants, energy plants that use materials such as biomass and RPF as fuel, and sewage sludge-fueled power systems, that contribute to measures combating climate change, for example by reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy through increased efficiency. In addition, as society works to realize carbon neutrality by 2050, we’re proposing more sophisticated use of waste to generate electricity and heat along with biogas recovery (methane fermentation) plants and combined systems that pair incineration with methane fermentation and other technologies, and we’re moving forward with research and development programs targeting effective use of heat pumps, renewable energy like biomass and sunlight, and hydrogen fuel.Furthermore, we’re working to reduce the Group’s CO2 emissions. | Related Information | |
