It is a coined word that is a combination of the “S” in “Sustainability” and the “A” in “ARROWS.” In April 2020, we
established five themes and 16 materialities (important issues) as guidelines for promoting sustainability. Furthermore, in August 2022, we have set three activity goals for 2030: “Circularity”, “Carbon Neutrality”, and “Humanity” (working and living in a healthy manner). We have set numerical targets linked to these three categories. Aiming to realize these goals, we will proceed with specific initiatives and actively disseminate information on our progress. ■About United Arrows Co., Ltd.
