AGC is Embracing the Challenges of Technical Innovation
SDGs Lead Century-Old Company to Renewed Vigor
Innovation cannot rely on the talent of a single genius. How should companies gather together the wisdom and know-how of their employees to foster innovative development while preserving the traditions of technology passed down by their predecessors? Founded in the early-1900s as the pioneer of the Japanese glass industry, AGC is changing. This new direction is a challenge that embodies the ninth United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which aims to create resilient infrastructure and promote inclusive, sustainable industrialization, all while fostering innovation.
