Sustainable Development Goals

“Don’t do things because they will make a profit, but because they will be of service to society.”
Having inherited this conviction articulated by our founder,
the activities we undertake are directed toward achieving the SDGs and their vision of a sustainable world.

Our founder, Nobuo Ishibashi, started our business in 1955 “to be of service to society”.
This spirit continues in the Daiwa House Group’s basic stance of “Creating Dreams, Building Hearts” that serves as our guiding light.

Rather than the pursuit of profit alone, we are helping to achieve sustainability by bringing new value to society through our business activities.
Our goal is to live in harmony and make wellbeing something for all to share.
As the inheritors of our founder’s spirit, our path follows that of the SDGs, aiming for the same future.

Accordingly, Daiwa House Group intends to keep moving forward toward a global consensus on
the resolution of challenges, with the 2030 target for achieving the SDGs being just one more milestone along the way.
We are looking forward to the day when we can all enjoy the prosperous society envisioned by our founder and
the sustainable world that the SDGs are seeking to create.
