Message from Top Management and Vice President of Environment Div.
Enhance power to overcome changes
What the prevailing financial crisis brought on was not solely a global economic deceleration. Quite possibly, it is calling upon us to reflect on and do some soul-searching over our business setups and lifestyles. SMK views the present tough times as a precious opportunity for innovation. For the future, we shall continue to discharge our responsibilities as a global citizen, and report our achievements to all of our stakeholders through media such as this document. | |||

More firm business foundations by reducing environmental burden
The year 2009 is the second year of the commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol. On June 10, the Japanese government announced its medium-term target of a 15 percent reduction by 2020 in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to 2005. We at SMK are, of course, taking aim at this national target, and shall also continue to make the maximum effort to reduce the CO2 emissions of our entire Group worldwide.
As a result of these activities, we ranked 121st among all Japanese manufacturers participated in the 12th Survey of Environment Oriented Management Index conducted by Nikkei Inc. in 2008 (as compared to 197th in 2007).
