Message from the President

Creating a Sustainable Future Through Precision Technology

Environmental challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity have reached unprecedented levels of urgency. At the same time, human rights and poverty remain critical global issues that companies must address responsibly.
We recognize that tackling these challenges is not a choice but a corporate duty.

Since our founding, we have been dedicated to manufacturing watches, precision components, electronic devices, and other products that support people’s lives and the foundations of society. At the core of this commitment lies our technological philosophy of Craftsmanship, Miniaturization, and Efficiency, inherited from our watchmaking heritage. This philosophy continues to inspire our pursuit of ever-greater precision, compactness, and energy efficiency in everything we create.

As a responsible manufacturer, we are expanding our business based on these strengths unique to SII in order to contribute to overcoming societal challenges. For example, our small batteries, originally developed as power sources for watches, are now widely used in medical devices due to their stable output voltage. We also continue to explore initiatives that meet the evolving needs of society. One such example is Ken-Nō-kun, a system that supports stable crop cultivation by monitoring temperature, humidity, CO₂, and other conditions inside agricultural greenhouses. Its wireless sensors can operate on batteries for up to 10 years, demonstrating the practical application of our precision technology for sustainable development.

Furthermore, SII regards the realization of a decarbonized society as one of its most important environmental priorities. In fiscal year 2024, all electricity used at our sites in Japan came from 100% renewable energy. Looking ahead, we aim to achieve 100% renewable energy at our global sites by fiscal year 2040, contributing to the early realization of a decarbonized society.
At the same time, we will continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout our entire supply chain, steadily minimizing our environmental impact.

We are further strengthening our responsible procurement activities to address social issues, particularly those related to human rights. Our efforts extend beyond key suppliers to include overseas partners and providers of indirect materials.
Through information sessions, we promote dialogue to deepen understanding of human rights and environmental challenges. By working closely with our suppliers, we aim to achieve both value creation and risk reduction.

SII embraces the core values of Integrity, Trust, and Appreciation, reflecting our commitment to being a company trusted and valued by society and our stakeholders. We will continue to pursue environmentally conscious product development and promote procurement practices that strictly adhere to fair trade principles. Together with all of our stakeholders, we will persistently work toward realizing a sustainable society.
At the same time, we aim to be a company that continuously creates new value in an ever-changing world.
