Initiatives on SDGs
Okumaʼs Materiality/SDGs and Business Strategy

In compliance with its Mission Statement, “contribute to the business ofcustomers throughout the world who create value,” Okuma aims to “open thepossibilities of manufacturing through innovation.” Under the spirit of “We will
create what should exist but does not exist (when what we need does notexist, we will create it ourselves),” we have provided the world with unique
technologies and products.
As the world is facing various environmental and social issues, Okuma makes
sure that its Mission Statement, purpose and business activities conform tothe goals and issues of SDGs in order to make SDG initiatives eﬀective. By
doing so we aim to contribute to the realization of “sustainable development”
and a “sustainable society.”

In order to realize a sustainable society, Okuma will contribute to solving social issues, such as a shortage of labor force due to a declining birthrate andaging population and the realization of a decarbonized society. We will develop environmentally friendly products and technologies that are represented bysolutions for improving productivity which we have developed with the next-generation automated factories, or Dream Sites, Thermo-Friendly Concept andECO suite, and will implement initiatives to reduce environmental load by establishing a linkage between those initiatives and our growth and businessstrategies. In the development of human resources as a source of innovation, we will promote research on advanced technologies, the learning ofadvanced skills, diversity, and creation of a positive work environment. In addition, as part of eﬀorts to create a positive working environment, we haveincreased the target number of paid days oﬀ obtained and introduced the childcare leave system for men before it comes into eﬀect.
