Sustainability
SDGs Initiatives
The SDGs are goals that have been set for the entire society to share and work together to realize a sustainable society. This can be positioned as an extension of the GLTECHNO Group’s management philosophy of "show the sociality sufficiently to society, and raise the existence value, and win prosperity of a staff individual and make maintenance of an enterprise and development be" and ESG management.
The GLTECHNO Group’s main business areas, namely "analytical instruments," "semiconductor," and "automated recognition," are essential for achieving the SDGs. Based on our many years of experience and proven technology, we will contribute to solving various environmental and social issues.
The GLTECHNO Group will strive to contribute to the achievement of as many SDGs as possible.
