SDGs Promotion Center
Message President
Since its founding in 1971, Soka University has been committed to nurturing "global citizens" who are willing to face the challenges of global society and boldly take on the challenge of realizing peace, based on Founding Spirit of peace, culture, and education based on the dignity of life.
Based on this philosophy, we opened the SDGs Promotion Center in April 2019 with the aim of actively contributing to the realization of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015. In addition, in our new mid- to long-term plan "Soka University Grand Design 2021-2030" looking ahead to our 60th anniversary, we have set the SDGs as one of the four priority themes, and faculty, staff, and students have joined forces to begin multifaceted and concrete efforts.
As a university that nurtures "global citizens" who persevere in creating value under any circumstances, we will continue to promote education and research aimed at achieving the SDGs, aiming to realize a global society in which "no one is left behind."

Message Director
One of the pillars of the "Soka University Grand Design 2021-2030" plan is the SDGs. Specifically, the plan includes university-wide promotion of the SDGs, training of SDG-related experts, collaboration with UN agencies, SDGs activities in collaboration with society and the local community, and efforts toward a sustainable campus.
As part of the events commemorating our 50th anniversary, we have been holding a series of events every year entitled "Value Creation x SDGs" to consider ways to solve global issues. On the other hand, under the theme of contributing to the SDGs, we are promoting collaboration and cooperation with other universities, including the United Nations University. Furthermore, in order to raise awareness of climate change measures, we have become the third university in Japan to issue a "Climate Emergency Declaration."
We will continue to strengthen collaboration between faculty, staff, and students and take on the challenges of creating a sustainable future.
