Sustainability

Based on our “Policy on Corporate Citizenship Activities and Philanthropy,” the Sysmex Group has been promoting corporate citizenship activities that lead to the creation of a prosperous, healthy society and vibrant communities.
 

As a way of enabling Sysmex employees to actively participate in these activities, we hold the Sysmex Gives Back Campaign twice every year. This campaign is a period when corporate citizenship activities are boosted across the whole Group. The second program for the present fiscal year was held from October to January, and it included a variety of activities in the different countries and regions where we operate, such as blood donation campaigns, neighborhood cleaning activities, and used clothes collections to raise money for vaccines. Some 3,400 employees worldwide took part.

During October, Group companies collaborated on activities for PINKTOBER*, which is our name for a month of enhanced activities for the Pink Ribbon breast cancer campaign. The initiatives included donations related to breast cancer awareness programs and participation in charity walks. In November, the 2023 Kobe Marathon, an event we have supported since its inception as a special sponsor, was held and some 100 employees took part in the event as volunteers handing out water to runners.

We also gave our support to victims of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, which struck on New Year’s Day. Not only have the company donated 20 million yen to help with relief for victims and reconstruction, we have donated stockpiled supplies, and employees have carried out fundraising activities.

The whole Sysmex Group will continue to come together in the future to promote corporate citizenship activities that contribute to the realization of a healthy and fulfilling society.

*We created this name by combining the PINK of Pink Ribbon with OCTOBER, the month in which Pink Ribbon activities are carried out.
