The world as a whole faces significant environment-related challenges, including adaptation and mitigation of climate change, conservation of water resources, and biodiversity. The healthcare market faces specific concerns, such as rising temperatures potentially leading to the expansion of tropical disease epidemic zones and increases in respiratory diseases due to air pollution. Such factors are expected to contribute to higher medical expenses and put pressure on medical infrastructure.

In line with the "Sysmex Way," the corporate philosophy of the Sysmex Group, and to instill confidence among stakeholders, we are working to contribute to the development of healthcare and the healthy lives of people in the aim of solving the various issues society faces. To address one such issue, "reducing environmental impacts," we are taking proactive steps toward "resource circulation in the product life cycle" and "reduction in environmental burden through business activities."

At the same time as we established long-term management strategies for the Sysmex Group, we have newly formulated "Sysmex Eco-Vision 2033." This is the long-term environmental vision that the Sysmex Group aims to achieve by 2033. We will collaboratively create innovative solutions that will advance the realization of a circular society by taking on the challenge of green innovation with stakeholders and utilizing Sysmex's strengths. Furthermore, we have set targets for reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions to become carbon neutral by 2040. The targets also include reducing water consumption, waste, as well as for increasing the recycling rate.

Sysmex will work together as a group to achieve "Sysmex Eco-Vision 2033" to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Scope 1: GHG emitted directly by company facilities, factories, and fleet
Scope 2: GHG emitted indirectly by the company due to energy use
Scope 3: GHG emitted throughout the value chain in relation to products and services
