Message from Management Regarding the SDGs



Muneo Miura
Director,
President Executive Officer

  The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations are widely recognized as goals that aim to resolve issues common to the entire world, and governments, companies, and individuals are developing diverse initiatives.
  Our company also promotes the reduction of CO2 emissions and waste as part of our activities to be considerate of the global environment, and we are implementing initiatives that emphasize the safety and health of our stakeholders, while valuing our connections with local and international communities. These activities are essential elements in achieving business continuity and sustainable corporate growth.
  Under our corporate mission of “quarter-lead,” we have continued to innovate our technology and provide new value to the semiconductor industry. A prime example of this is our compression molding equipment, which has innovative technology that supports advanced semiconductor manufacturing, while achieving 100% resin usage efficiency and contributing to reducing environmental impact. We believe that this result is a good example of how technological evolution in the industry and contribution to achieving the SDGs can be achieved at the same time.
  Going forward, we will continue to incorporate the concept of sustainability even more deeply into our corporate mission and core technologies, and will work to strengthen our R&D, human resource development, and management foundation from the perspectives of the environment, society, the economy, and governance, aiming to become a company that continues to create high added value, where both the company and society can grow together.
 
TOWA’s Commitment to the SDGs:
TOWA shall focus on the following seven goals of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations, particularly those with relevance to our business.
 
Relationship between the SDGs and ESG Investing:
  ESG is the acronym of Environment, Social and Governance. In recent years, ESG Investing, which analyzes companies with a focus on these three factors and invests in companies that are run well, has been attracting much attention in the stock markets.
  Institutional investors and other investing entities have concurred with the Principles for Responsible Investment supported by the United Nations and have realized that ESG Investing creates new investment opportunities. On the other hand, the companies that have adopted the goal of contributing to the achievement of the SDGs are more likely to receive ESG investment and increase the number of business opportunities for creating shared value.
  The diagram below illustrates relations between SDG issues to which we are focusing on and ESG.
