Abstract
It is not only international organizations and governments that play a critical role in achieving SDGs but also private companies. Since adopting the SDGs, companies have performed various activities in each region. This research aims to clarify the actual promotion of SDGs in Japanese Shinkin banks. In Japan, many Shinkin banks work to promote SDGs; however, as far as we can be determined, no research exists on the topic of SDG awareness surveys for Shinkin bank staff. In the present research, a questionnaire survey—the “SDGs Awareness Survey”—was conducted in August 2020 for Shinkin bank staff who actively promoted SDGs. A comparative analysis of 1,082 men and women was then performed, which revealed the primary result that male staff tend to be more aware of SDGs than female staff.
