Environment

Addressing climate change, promoting resource circulation, and tackling other environmental challenges are key management priorities that support Sysmex’s sustainable growth and value creation.
Natural disasters and supply chain disruptions caused by climate change, stricter environmental regulations, and rising energy and raw material prices may impact business operations and increase costs, posing risks that could erode trust and impair corporate value.
Meanwhile, providing products and services that reduce environmental impact, promoting resource circulation, and promoting energy conservation create opportunities to strengthen our competitive advantage and enhance corporate value.
In terms of social and environmental impact, our business activities place a burden on the environment through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation. However, through initiatives aimed at reducing our environmental impact, we contribute to the realization of a decarbonized and circular society.

In accordance with our environmental policy—“By shaping the advancement of healthcare, our global environmental conservation activities contribute to the creation of a fulfilling and healthy society”—Sysmex has formulated its long-term environmental vision, “Sysmex Eco-Vision 2033.” In collaboration with our stakeholders, we take on the challenge of green innovation. By developing eco-friendly products and services that contribute to energy conservation, reduced resource consumption, and waste reduction, as well as by reducing GHG emissions and promoting resource circulation, we aim to achieve both business growth and environmental value creation. We also promote initiatives to address environmental issues throughout our entire supply chain, extending beyond our own operations, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. At the same time, through the provision of products and services that contribute to solving environmental and social issues, we seek to create new business opportunities and establish sustainable competitive advantages.

Under the supervision and management of the Environmental Management Officer (Managing Executive Officer), appointed by the President, the Environmental Management Committee takes the lead in promoting environmental management across the Group. In addition, risks related to this topic are evaluated and managed under the company-wide risk management framework.

To reduce its environmental impact and help realize a circular society, Sysmex has established targets based on “Sysmex Eco-Vision 2033” and tracks progress toward these targets. Focusing on key indicators, including reducing GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), achieving zero product loss, and transitioning completely to recycled and environmentally friendly materials, we aim to address environmental challenges while achieving business growth, thereby strengthening our sustainable competitive advantage and enhancing corporate value.
