SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

What are SDGs?

What are SDGs?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are global goals for the period from 2016 to 2030 adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015. They consist of 17 universal goals and 169 targets applicable to all countries, including developed countries, to address issues such as inequality, sustainable consumption and production, and climate change. We aim to contribute to solving issues by responding to the needs and demands of society through initiatives in line with our Sustainability Policy.

Fine Sinter agrees with the SDG-related initiatives and will strive to solve more problems with the aim of achieving a sustainable world through manufacturing with powder metallurgy technology.
