At the September 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Summit, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were announced as an action plan for humanity, the Earth and prosperity. The plan comprises 17 goals and 169 targets. The Dentsu Group, which provides a diverse array of value in the communications field and always looks to the future, is contributing to the resolution of global social issues. Through seminars and workshops, we are helping to provide support for stakeholder SDG initiatives. As part of these activities, in November 2017 we invited photographer Leslie Kee to create portraits of Dentsu employees engaged in efforts to achieve the SDGs. In this way it was hoped that awareness of the SDGs would be further inculcated within the Company. In addition, we created the SGDs Communication Guide. It is a guide for employees engaged in corporate management and advertising, as they go about their advertisement-related and promotional activities in connection with the SDGs.

Further, the Dentsu Group is participating in the groundbreaking initiative called Common Ground, with the world’s five other top advertising and marketing services groups (Havas, IPG, Omnicom, Publicis, and WPP). The Group is focused on Goal 3, which is health, and is working with NGOs to counter global infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.

Changes in consumer behavior patterns, diversification of consumer needs

Globally, populations are continuing to increase and changes are being seen in their composition. Diversity is coming to many countries as the ratio of minorities there increases. It is becoming important to create societies that accept immigrants, LGBT individuals, as well as a diverse array of cultures. In line with changes in consumer behavior patterns and the diversification of consumer needs, the Dentsu Group will leverage its marketing and communications capabilities focused on advertising, to raise consumer awareness and inspire action, significantly contributing to the creation of societies where everyone can live comfortably.

Digital shift within client marketing activities

The advance of digital technologies has caused a remarkable change in the behavior of consumers. The Dentsu Group leverages its significant capabilities to provide optimal solutions for client marketing activities combining various ideas and technologies, including AI, big data analysis, and e-commerce support.

At the same time, dependence on social media and other digital content, mainly among young people, has become a prominent social issue. In response, the Dentsu Group, which plays a role in the promotion of digitization, is also working on resolving this problem through the framework of the responsible marketing and sustainable consumption target in our Medium-term CSR Strategy.
