Efforts to Help Realize the SDGs
To assist in the realization of a sustainable society, Dentsu has set up priority areas, including respect for human rights and the reduction of adverse environmental impact. The Group has also developed initiatives that introduce renewable energy and promote diversity and decent work.
Since we view the SDGs as affecting the entire Group, we promote activities that support NGOs. Our undertakings focus, for example, on eradicating malaria and tuberculosis through the Common Ground campaign, conducted in collaboration with the world’s five largest advertising groups.
At the same time, Dentsu Team SDGs—a business-oriented project team that addresses SDGs across the Dentsu Group—provides consulting on methods for communicating these goals. With it’s work based on the Dentsu strengths embodied in the concepts of co-creation and connectivity, the team is involved in business co-creation projects.
