Sustainability
Top Commitment
STAF Corporation upholds a management philosophy centered on “Speedy Technology Actuality Flexibility”. Under this philosophy, we have continuously supported the realization of a sustainable society by executing our business based on annual business policies established each fiscal year.
In recent years, interest in solving global social issues has grown, and companies are increasingly expected to incorporate the SDGs into management. To make our sustainability initiatives more concrete, we launched an internal SDGs working group and identified our materialities (key management issues for STAF Corporation). Starting with obtaining SBT (Science Based Targets) certification in 2023, we aim to “realize a sustainable society and enhance corporate value.”
Based on our belief that managing our business from three perspectives—environment, society, and governance (corporate governance)—is essential to sustaining our company and earning social trust going forward, we will further promote sustainability-focused management. By visualizing the material issues in our sustainability initiatives and clarifying the challenges we recognize, we will improve them one by one. In doing so, all employees will create new value together with our customers and contribute to building a sustainable society through the power of co-creation.

3. Strengthening Environmental Management
Based on our ISO 14001 certification, STAF Corporation has established and operates an environmental management system. Through this system, we reduce our environmental impact and pursue sustainable growth across our business activities. Specifically, all employees work to minimize environmental impact by preventing environmental pollution, improving energy efficiency, promoting recycling, and restricting the use of hazardous substances.
We also set Green Procurement Standards and ask our suppliers to implement environmental conservation initiatives and establish chemical substance management systems. This helps minimize the environmental impact of parts and materials used in our products and improves environmental quality. As part of our environmental conservation activities, we conduct regular audits and enforce strict controls based on applicable laws and STAF Corporation standards.
Through these initiatives, STAF Corporation contributes to building a sustainable society and a cleaner future.
