The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all the United Nations member states in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that set out a 15-year plan to achieve the goals. In recent years, the SDGs have been set as action guidelines and indicators by various companies, educational institutions, and local governments. However, many companies still seem uncertain about how to use and implement the SDGs. Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) aims to synergize its unique P&I (printing & information) strengths and practice wide-ranging cooperation with its many partners to solve social issues while focusing on creating new values that meet people's expectations. DNP considers it important to have a global as well as a medium- and long-term perspective, looking 10 years into the future, and even as far ahead as 2050. Therefore, DNP has utilized the SDGs as a “yardstick for realizing an even better society.” This paper takes DNP's initiatives as an example to describe the significance of the SDGs for the printing industry.
