Sustainability at SEMLINKS
In November 2021, we established the Policy for Sustainability Management of SEMLINKS Group, and based on that policy we have been actively pursuing sustainability-related activities.
SEMLINKS Group Sustainability Policy
As our corporate philosophy, the SEMLINKS Group "aims to develop a favorable environment that supports a prosperous society, and contribute to the prosperity of society." Based on this philosophy, we strive to earn even greater trust from customers, shareholders, members of society and all other stakeholders through equitable and highly transparent business activities in harmony with society and nature, while also contributing to the building of a sustainable society and growing our corporate value over the medium term. To these ends, we pursue sustainability-related activities in accordance with the guidelines listed below.
- Aim to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities, products and services, and expand business fields with a low environmental impact
- Provide engineering services that earn high customer satisfaction while emphasizing trustworthiness and technological capabilities
- Further strengthen the foundations of our overseas business ventures while expanding our business fields
- Strive for safe and rewarding workplaces characterized by respect for human rights and diversity
- Emphasize compliance and pursue equitable business dealings while striving to guarantee transparency through suitable disclosure

Promotion Framework
In January 2022, we established the Sustainability Management Committee with the president as chairperson and Management Council members as committee members, and we are promoting initiatives such as discussing and verifying important issues and goals related to sustainability.
Furthermore, we have established subcommittees under the Sustainability Committee to handle issues related to the SDGs, carbon neutrality, etc., and each of these subcommittees are promoting specialized initiatives for each theme.
