The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are developed through collaboration between S&P Dow Jones Indices¹ of the United States and Robeco SAM², a Swiss research specialist in the area of socially responsible investment. The indexes evaluate companies from three perspectives: the economy, the environment and society. In fiscal 2018, the DJSI World includes 317 companies, 34 of which are Japanese.

This year Sysmex has been selected for inclusion in the DJSI World for the third consecutive year. We are the only Japanese company in the industry of Health Care Equipment & Supplies to be included.

Sysmex has also been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index for the seventh consecutive year.

Sysmex has identified priority issues (materiality) of the CSR activities with a view to realizing a sustainable society and achieving sustainable growth for the Group. We are currently developing a specific action plan based on these identified materiality and are taking actions accordingly.

On the environment-related front, we formulated “Sysmex Eco-Vision 2025” to promote environmental conservation more than ever throughout the product/service life cycle and across the entire value chain of our business activities.

Going forward, Sysmex will continue to aggressively promote CSR activities in its aim of achieving ongoing sustainable growth.
