Message from the President

We offer products that excel in today's world and contribute to the advancement of society.

Numerous pressing issues confront our world today, including global environmental challenges such as climate change, poverty, and human rights violations. These problems are intricately interconnected, underscoring the growing importance of addressing both the provision of products and services that help resolve social issues and the responsibilities that companies must uphold.

To contribute to solving these social issues as part of our business, we will continue to provide environmentally friendly products that our customers value and make good use of. We are committed to pursuing miniaturization, high precision, low power consumption, and longer lifespans for all our products, drawing on the “Craftsmanship, Miniaturization, and Efficiency” technology inherited from our watch manufacturing legacy. For example, the precision-machined parts developed for watches have become essential components in supporting the safety and security of next-generation mobility. Similarly, the small batteries that have powered our watches are now used in medical devices, thanks to their stable output voltage characteristics, with applications continuously expanding. We are dedicated to addressing social issues, including the realization of a decarbonized society, by advancing our technologies focused on “Craftsmanship, Miniaturization, and Efficiency.”

Furthermore, confronting climate change is an urgent issue that companies must address as part of their social responsibility. In addition to our existing energy-saving initiatives, SII is actively promoting the adoption of renewable energy, with plans to achieve 100% renewable energy use at our sites in Japan by fiscal year 2024. Moving forward, we will also strive for 100% renewable energy use at our international sites and enhance our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout our supply chain.

Moreover, there is an urgent need to address human rights issues, particularly regarding potential violations in the supply chain. Collaborating closely with our suppliers is essential in this effort. SII conducted a briefing session for key suppliers, seeking their cooperation in addressing various social issues, including human rights and environmental concerns. We will continue to strengthen our responsible procurement practices to ensure we do not unintentionally contribute to human rights violations.

Since becoming president, I have been dedicated to cause of “contributing to the advancement of society by delivering products that excel in alignment with the spirit of the times.”
Grounded in this belief, we will continue to fulfill our corporate responsibilities and tackle social issues to realize a prosperous society. To achieve this, collaboration with our stakeholders is essential, encompassing not only management but also our employees. I am committed to taking the lead in working alongside everyone to create a sustainable society and achieve the “advancement of society” that SII strives for.
