INITIATIVES TOWARD SUSTAINABILITY
KADOKAWA GROUP’S SUSTAINABILITY
The KADOKAWA Group discovers diverse talent from around the world to create more intellectual property (IP) while maximizing the IP’s lifetime value (LTV) through inter-business collaboration. Furthermore, by constantly incorporating the latest technology, we are advancing our basic strategy of “Global Media Mix with Technology” to spread our IP across the globe.
By implementing this basic strategy and resolving business issues, we do not just expect to achieve medium- and long-term corporate growth and an increase in our corporate value; we also seek to ensure the sustainability of content to achieve our goals listed below and help resolve social issues.
- Delivering knowledge and excitement to more people and helping them discover things they like and their own personal happiness
- Reinforcing people’s mutual understanding of diverse values and cultures, strengthening human connections and contributing to the development of society through empathy with our content (IP)
- Helping pass down a cultural legacy to the next generation and fostering the development of new culture

ACTIVITIES FOR COMMUNITY COEXISTENCE AND CULTURAL SUCCESSION
The KADOKAWA Group has searched for ways of community coexistence with the local community and residents by deploying local information media and planning and operating events that are rooted in each region. Specifically, we operate the “TOKOROZAWA SAKURA TOWN” cultural facility complex, operate a facility housing archival works of publications and motion picture films that is open to the public, and offer learning opportunities and workshops for schools, educational institutions, and local residents. The KADOKAWA Group carries out these activities to broadly promote Japanese culture and art cultivated across Japan domestically and overseas and to pass down culture and art to the future primarily through the KADOKAWA Culture Promotion Foundation.

COMMUNICATING THE SDGs THROUGH CONTENT
Group companies such as KADOKAWA and CHOUBUNSHA have been publishing handbooks, novels, picture books, illustrated reference books, and other works to resolve social issues even before the word SDGs came about. There is a lineup of publications for a wide range of ages and diverse readerships, from Change us, Transform the Future: the first step towards the SDGs (CHOUBUNSHA), a picture book that gives a simple overview for children of the concepts surrounding the SDGs, and Pink Is for Boys (KADOKAWA), a picture book that deals with gender, to Anata to SDGs o tsunagu "sekai o tadashiku miru" shukan (Habits for "Seeing the World Correctly" That Connect You to the SDGs) (KADOKAWA), which is for adults.
