Human Sustainability: What We Can Do Looking Toward the Future
In response to modern societal challenges such as the aging population and labor shortages, businesses and society are increasingly required to adopt new approaches centered around "human sustainability." This session will explore how companies are addressing these challenges by promoting a human-centered sustainable society. Through real-world case studies, we will examine practical actions being taken, including improving social equity, enhancing labor environments, and implementing reforms to adapt to an aging workforce. Additionally, we will discuss the responsibilities that companies must undertake and the action plans for building a sustainable society in the future.
