Hiroshima Television Corporation
Manifesto to promote SDGs

Hiroshima Television Corporation supports the concept of SDGs, and we pledge to work toward helping achieve a sustainable society. In that regard, we endeavor to introduce individuals and companies who address SDGs through our broadcast programming and events.

What are SDGs?

Seventeen "Sustainable Development Goals" were set by the United Nations in 2015, which are intended to be met by 2030. The goals contain 169 specific targets (including indicators used to measure progress), which reflect current global issues such as the environment, hygiene, human rights, climate change, poverty as well as others.

The SDG Media Compact is an alliance of media-related companies throughout the world that have been encouraged by the United Nations to help deliver SDGs.

Hiroshima Television Corporation is local television broadcaster which is located in nuclear-bombed city of Hiroshima. HTV first began broadcasting in 1962, and since that time we have tried to disseminate a message of peace, particularly in regard to the Atomic bomb. We air a wide variety of news, community culture, entertainment and professional/amateur sports as a local-based broadcaster.
