PLUS Group Sustainability

From PLUS no kokoro to sustainability management

We believe that, for The PLUS Group, sustainability means realizing our philosophy "Unique Values - Higher Satisfaction" as defined in PLUS no kokoro, and contributing to the resolution of social issues via our business activities.
The PLUS Group sustainability policy, key action themes, and materiality were established so that we could clearly communicate our stance towards sustainability and action guidelines to our various stakeholders.

Satisfaction for Workers

People can't enjoy their jobs and work towards a sustainable future unless they have a work environment that everyone finds fun and exciting.

Satisfaction for Society

We will review the current situation in totally new ways, and create products, services and systems that are more convenient, comfortable and environmentally friendly than ever before. We will deliver peace of mind, safety, excitement and satisfaction to all members of society and enrich their daily lives.

Satisfaction for the Global Environment

Via resource recycling initiatives that use limited resources and energy without wasting them, we will take on climate change and other challenges confronting a sustainable society, and strive to create a resilient society that preserves the beautiful global environment.

Build a Strong and Resilient Organization

We strive to build sustainable organizations that have the resilience to deal with new environments, changes, and diverse situations.
