Global society has continued to undergo significant change in recent years and faces a variety of challenges, including climate change, poverty, and inequality. To address these challenges, the United Nations adopted "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" in September 2015, setting forth the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Companies are playing an increasingly important role in achieving these goals.

Light is essentially an important element that gives vitality to people's minds and bodies. On the other hand, lighting requires a lot of energy and consumes a large amount of precious resources. Since our founding, we have taken on the challenge of achieving both an "enriched life" and " energy conservation."

In 2009, we were the first in the industry to convert all products to LED. In the nine years through FY2017, when the replacement of LED fixtures in the facility lighting market had almost run its course, we achieved a reduction of 1,512,000 tons of C02*.

We will continue to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs for a sustainable society by creating human- and earth-friendly light values such as comfort, relaxation, health, security, and safety, as well as improving energy efficiency through high-efficiency LED lighting and control.
