Every step we work on can strengthen the health and vitality of the community in which we live. This is a step for us to target and build a better, brighter future for those who serve us.

Changed the naming convention of this report to reflect the issue year (2018), not the previous report reflecting the year represented by the data. Therefore, since the 2018 Corporate Responsibility Report represents data for 2017, there is no 2017 Corporate Responsibility Report (CR) report.

Long before opening the first target store in the suburbs of Minneapolis, the foundation was established based on the belief that the ongoing success of our business depends on the power and vitality of the communities we serve. Five years later, we not only believe in an important link between business and the community, but also expand our concept of corporate responsibility.

This report is based on GRI criteria: core options. This is the most reliable standard for reporting the most important environmental, social, and governance performance issues for our business and stakeholders.

We will be able to understand important issues for business and stakeholders, prioritize them, solve the right issues and report effectively. It also allows us to concentrate on our resources to meet the interests and needs of our business and stakeholders, develop our strategy and customize our reports .

Our goal is to utilize our scale, scale and footprint to make a positive impact on the communities we serve and operate. Beyond the goals we can achieve with our businesses and suppliers, we will work with NGOs, governments, trade associations and other companies to innovate solutions to the most pressing problems faced today.

The United Nations issued a report titled "Sustainable Development Target Report" in 2015 and outlined a total of 17 development goals. They are expected to be executed by all the members of the United Nations in 2030. This is an ambitious project, but it is still an optimistic and viable project. Affordable clean energy is listed as the seventh objective of the report (UN, 2016). However, as these goals are interdependent, all the goals listed are equally important. The UN emphasizes ensuring affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy is available to all people as a major component of the seventh goal (UN, 2016). This means to move forward, allowing all people to have access to affordable energy to ensure that sustainably supply energy to the next generation, then, to keep pace with the modern world energy sources And upgrade the infrastructure.

The announcement of the business report on the Sustainability Target Report is the highlight of the United Nations Global Compact Readers Summit held at the Global Target Week on 21st September. This report is derived from a report of partnership for the SDG action team, Global Compact, Global Compact, and Responsible Investment Principles, one of the corporate action teams within the SDG Action Platform. With the support of PWC, the analysis itself is the work of Global Compact and GRI. This document is the first of three years' efforts to help companies of all sizes improve reporting to improve performance to achieve worldwide targets. The analysis is a "possible disclosure list" for each of the 169 targets under 17 targets based on the existing "globally recognized business disclosure framework".
