28The basic concept for CSR at Yokogawa is building a sustainable society through broad-ranging activities in the areas of measurement, control, and information. This concept is based on the ideas of our founder and it underlies everything Yokogawa has accomplished with its business up to this point.With his founding principles of putting quality first, having a pioneering spirit, and contributing to society, our founder Tamisuke Yokogawa made clear that the relationship between business and society is to be taken seriously. These ideas and the essential nature of our business, which involves the use of measurement and control for the development of industry, determine the path that the company will take to support both companies and society.In 1988, a Yokogawa corporate philosophy was formulated that reconfirmed the company’s mission. These ideas have gained Groupwide acceptance.The contributions made by Yokogawa have evolved over the years to include everything from the provision of product solutions that add value to the offering of support services that ensure the correct, safe, and reliable operation and management of entire production facilities, the improvement of operational efficiency, and the safe suspension of operations when errors occur. Today, Yokogawa is engaged in providing control equipment and systems for renewable energy applications, including wind, solar, and geothermal power generation, and is achieving significant growth in those fields. Based on the idea incorporated in our corporate philosophy that Yokogawa’s people are to be good citizens, the company has sought throughout its 100 year history to be engaged at the local community level. While always placing the top priority on compliance, Yokogawa has continually striven to be sincere and cooperative in its dealings with people around the world, which has given rise to initiatives such as the sponsoring of events and volunteer activities. This includes activities such as the Yokogawa summer festival, initiatives through special subsidiaries that aim to help disabled people lead independent lifestyles, and the training of personnel in other countries.Yokogawa takes its global responsibilities seriously, and has shown its intent to work toward the realization of a sustainable society by participating in the UN Global Compact. Dedicated to its ten principles on human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption, the entire Group is seeking to maintain compliance with regional regulations and international standards, and is engaged in dialogue with its stakeholders on these topics.At Yokogawa, our CSR efforts can be described as creating new value with customers and engaging in a Business to Business to Community (B to B to C) model that seeks to pave the way to a brighter future for our customers, industry, and the Earth. The aim is to supply products and solution services that take into account not only the needs of our customers but also the communities that we live in and the Earth that we all call home. The words of our founder, who exhorted us to “become known by all people in the world and make products beneficial to them,” continue to resonate with us today.The Relationship between Business and SocietyGood CitizenshipContributing to Society, People, and the Earth1915Philanthropic activities Regional disasterprevention activitiesSupport in education and employing people with disabititiesDonationsCharity activities Employment of persons with disabilities(Establishment of special subsidiaries) Contributing through regional volunteer activities Anti-pollution measuresEnergy saving activities Entering the environment business Acquisition of ISO14001 certification Green procurementEnvironmentally harmonious product developmentProducts and solutions that are good for the environment Promotion of diversityForest conservationactivitiesConstruction of occupational health and safety management systemsGovernanceCompliance Supply chainCSR guidelinesThe present* UN Global Compact and ISO26000Quality first Pioneering spirit Contribution to societyEnvironment Human resourcesLaborSafety FairnessHuman rightsLocal communitiesFounding principlesAchieving a sustainable society through business-based CSR activities and complying with international standards*Yokogawa’s expanding CSR activities Good CitizenshipCSR Initiatives
