Sustainability, the environment and our responsibility
As a business, we have a responsibility for the sustainable and fair future of our communities. Solving social and environmental issues is a duty of our generation. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd (SHI) and our people, products, and services play a crucial part in this.
In March 2020, we identified seven material issues to clarify and prioritize the roles we will play. Among these are our environmental commitments, including how we contribute to addressing climate change globally.
SHI President and CEO, Shinki Shimomura, has stated: “Solving social issues is a duty of our generation. Toward the fulfilment of this responsibility, we will live up to the trust of our stakeholders by sustainable and stronger corporate activities through promotion of our initiatives for accomplishment of those materialities and our business activities in tandem.”
