Basic Policy on the Environment

In 1997, Tokyo Seimitsu established its Basic Environmental Philosophy under the concept of "Manufacturing is possible only when the global environment is conserved." This basic philosophy is expressed in our Basic Environmental Policy, and is embodied in our Basic Policy so that all employees can put it into practice in business activities. Tokyo Seimitsu conducts all of its business activities on the basis of these philosophies and policies. Through our products and business activities, we aim to reduce our electricity usage and CO2 emissions, promote resource conservation, control total waste generation and chemical substance emissions, and contribute to the achievement of a sustainable society.

Environmental Policy

Tokyo Seimitsu sets environmental targets at both of its plants, and engages in environmental management, in accordance with the Environmental Policy set by officers in charge of the environment. We promote continuous environmental conservation activities that span the entirety of development, design, production, and service.

Basic Environmental Philosophy

Recognizing environmental conservation as a important theme, Tokyo Seimitsu makes environmental conservation an integral element of all product development, design, manufacturing and service activities.

Company Environmental Policy

In all business activities, extending from manufacturing products such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment and precision measuring instruments through the provision of services, everyone at Tokyo Seimitsu must always work with the consideration for "Is this action friendly for the earth?". The goal is to reduce our impact on the earth's environment to the absolute minimum.
