Evaluating our work against global goals for sustainability helps us and our stakeholders see our impact from a global standpoint. In partnership with our parent company, Subaru Corporation, we have assessed our efforts in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) since 2018. These 17 goals are part of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and aim to inspire action for humanity and the planet.
We outline below the goals where we can have the most impact at Subaru and what environmental, social, and governance (ESG) actions we have taken in the last year to help achieve these global goals. This is one way that we demonstrate our Love Promise and the difference we can make to the world.
