Dentsu Inc. Updates "Eco-First Commitment"

Dentsu Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Toshihiro Yamamoto), as an "Eco-First Company" certified under the Ministry of the Environment's "Eco-First Program(※)", has now declared to the Minister of the Environment its commitment to collaborate with stakeholders to achieve a sustainable society on a global scale, reflecting this in its "Eco-First Commitment (Revised Version)". Within this commitment, the company has set goals with a vision extending to 2030, based on the "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in September 2015.

We were certified as an Eco-First company in 2008. In March 2012, we reflected our commitment to fostering environmental awareness in society through activities such as the proactive promotion of environmental communication and the further evolution of our green office environment in our Eco-First Commitment (Renewal).

We will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by raising awareness and promoting understanding of social issues, including environmental conservation, and by reducing the environmental impact of our business activities.
