advocating for and practicing sustainable development, conducting business and management in a way that benefits society.
sustainable development is a global consensus for addressing the challenges of our time in the context of globalization. its core lies in development, and the sustainability of our development path will determine our shared destiny, both now and in the future. in 1987, the world commission on environment and development published the report "our common future," which defined sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." noa is committed to exploring sustainable models of resource development and utilization, continuously creating emerging values that lead the world forward, and embracing the future's rapid evolution.
noa's sustainable development strategy is derived from its core values of "responsibility, mission, and commitment." sustainable development serves as the external manifestation of noa's self-value realization as a global corporate citizen. it is also a firm commitment to other stakeholders and the global environment in building a world based on trust. we prioritize high-tech services as the main driving force to promote a balance between global resource consumption and development, seeking the common well-being of humanity. while ensuring the orderly progress of long-term development goals, we strive to optimize and elevate the dimensions of society, economy, and environment.
sustainable development is widely practiced in various fields such as the environment, society, economy, politics, technology, and humanities. from different research perspectives, noa has planned and implemented the following strategic actions that have specific significance to ensure comprehensive implementation and safeguarding of the "sustainability" elements.
