To work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, initiatives have been carried out by the Japanese government, local governments, and businesses. With growing consumer awareness, in 2017 the Keidanren included “bringing about a sustainable society” in its Charter of Corporate Behavior and businesses have been implementing more SDGs initiatives along with a growing trend in ESG investing.
