Environment

Environmental issues such as climate change adaptation and mitigation, water resource conservation, and biodiversity preservation represent some of the most pressing challenges facing the global community. In the healthcare market, rising temperatures may expand the prevalence of tropical diseases, while air pollution may increase the incidence of respiratory illnesses―both factors that could drive up healthcare costs and place additional strain on medical infrastructure. As a global company, Sysmex recognizes that addressing the intensifying environmental challenges is one of our most critical priorities. Climate change poses significant risks to the stable supply of products and the resilience of supply chains through large-scale natural disasters and droughts. At the same time, initiatives such as developing environmentally conscious products and enhancing transportation efficiency also creates opportunities to strengthen our competitive advantage. These initiatives not only represent an essential aspect of our corporate responsibility but also serve to reduce environmental impacts and contribute to the realization of a sustainable 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" ― we established Sysmex Eco-Vision 2033 in May 2023. This is the long-term environmental vision that the Sysmex Group strives to achieve by 2033, in which we will take on the challenges of green innovation together with our stakeholders and utilize Sysmex's unique strengths to co-create new common standard toward the realization of a circular society.

Under the supervision and management of the Environmental Management Officer (Member of the Managing Board and Senior Executive Officer), appointed by the President, the Group promotes environmental management with the Environmental Management Committee serving as the central body.
