Initiatives to Achieve SDGs
Contributing to achieving SDGs through the copro group’s growth strategy and “human resource development”
The copro group’s principal business is temporary staffing and paid job placement targeted mainly to the construction industry and production plant businesses. Along with generating employment, an important theme for us is “human resource development” through various types of education and training. We pursue a variety of business activities under this theme.
We recognize that all of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as defined below, relate closely to our business processes and that achieving all the goals is essential for realizing our growth strategy. Recognizing that these SDGs contribute to the sustainable growth of the company, we wish to help in fulfilling the SDGs by steadily implementing the following initiatives.
1.What are SDGs?
The world (earth) is facing a variety of social challenges, such as conflict, poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. In light of this, the U.N. has formulated 17 goals (themes), referred to as “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs), defining important issues to be resolved by 2030. By working to achieve these goals in collaboration with people all over the world, we aim to help resolve social issues and shape a global society in which no one is left behind. This is a sign to show that instead of just “doing our best for our own happiness,” we are “collaborating for the happiness of the whole society and whole world.”
2.Defining the action priorities (goals) of the copro group
To achieve the SDGs, the copro group has assessed and analyzed the goals in accordance with two axes—the concerns of our stakeholders and business relevance—to determine the priority of the issues we need to address.
3.Our measures and indicators for each SDG
Expand satisfying work opportunities by matching people to jobs
As a “human resource development” company, we provide temporary engineers with the opportunity to acquire technical and professional skills, to help them upgrade their skills and achieve greater work satisfaction.
As a temporary staffing company, we carry out recruitment activities broadly to offer employment opportunities. At the same time, by promoting the hiring of inexperienced personnel, it helps people to secure stable employment and to increase economic productivity.
We strive to offer employment opportunities and equal pay for equal work to all people, regardless of age, gender, disability, etc.
We strive to offer productive employment and rewarding, human work to all, regardless of age, gender, nationality, disability, religion, etc.
Maintaining sustainable industries and infrastructure by eliminating labor shortages in construction/civil engineering and plant workplaces
We strive to contribute to sustainable industrialization by placing highly skilled engineers in the construction industry, where skilled labor shortages have been a serious concern.
SDG-related initiatives outside of business
As a member of society, we are deeply concerned about environmental protection and resource limitations. Consequently, we work hard to reduce environmental impacts, by preventing and reducing waste generation and promoting recycling.
