Sustainability Action Plan
Formulation of the Sustainability Action Plan
The Daifuku Group formulated the Sustainability Action Plan (2021-2023) after reviewing the critical issues we have worked on since 2014 in our CSR Action Plan and based on the five themes given precedence in our initiatives. The Sustainability Committee, chaired by the CEO has managed the progress of this Plan with the aim to accomplish its goals, and regularly reports our achievements through our Website, etc.
CSR Action Plan (2017-2020)
The Daifuku Group formulated the CSR Action Plan in 2014, as a medium-term plan that sets up targets according to the six initiatives and clarifies the actual content of the initiatives. Coinciding with the start of the 4-year “Value Innovation 2020” management plan in 2017, we have performed revisions aimed at enhancing the impact of our CSR initiatives.
