Stakeholder Engagement

In our corporate management, we aim to achieve significant growth together with our diverse stakeholders, including employees, business partners, customers, local communities, shareholders, and investors, through “WIN-WIN” relationships. Additionally, we will promote initiatives to appropriately distribute profits and things of value generated through value co-creation and productivity improvement to multistakeholders, taking into account the importance of returning profits to employees and giving due consideration to business partners.

* Scope : Regular employees of Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. (non-consolidated basis)

In fiscal 2023, due in part to the increased focus on semiconductor stocks, we saw a significant increase in the number of interviews that we held with institutional investors and analysts. As a result, we have increased the number of IR personnel to increase opportunities for dialogue and established an internal system to enable constructive dialogue by providing the answers to common questions of investors in disclosure materials. In addition, in order to provide overseas investors with information in a fair manner, Tokyo Seimitsu, in principle, translates disclosed information into English and provides it on the English version of its website simultaneously or quickly after information is disclosed in Japanese.

Tokyo Seimitsu is a member of the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) and participates in the activities of the Service sub-committee and Safety Training sub-committee of the Safety & Support Committee, which aims to enhance the quality of maintenance services, including for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and achieve a zero accident rate among service representatives.

In order to share information with SEAJ member companies, the FY2023 SEAJ China Business Promotion Team has set up a bulletin board for posting local updates on the SEAJ China Travel and Movement Information Exchange site. In addition, SEAJ has created a new list of points to keep in mind when staying in China to introduce and alert visitors to cases that they should be aware of when staying in China, and has posted it on the SEAJ website.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for standardization in major industrial fields. As a representative of Japan to TC213, which deliberates and establishes standards for geometrical product specifications (GPS) in the Technical Committee, Tokyo Seimitsu participates in working groups covering coordinate measuring machine standards, roundness measuring machine standards, surface texture measuring instrument/filter standards, and measurement uncertainty standards. In particular, as a project leader of international meetings to discuss specifications and standards for roundness measuring machines and to revise calibration standards for surface texture measuring machines, we are promoting the international standardization of Japanese proposals. As discussions on specifications and standards for roundness measuring machines are in the final stage, the specifications and standards are scheduled to be officially published in fiscal 2024.

The Japan Society for Precision Engineering is organized by experts in their respective fields to promote the sound development of precision engineering technology and to conduct ongoing research on important issues. Tokyo Seimitsu participates in the Expert Committee for Intelligent Nano-Measurement*¹ and the Expert Committee for Convergence Engineering*². Also, in fiscal 2022, one of our employees was appointed to the society’s board, where he will work to promote its activities. In addition to exhibiting equipment at academic lectures held in the spring and fall, we also participate in corporate awards for outstanding student presentations.

To promote the precision measuring instruments industry in Japan, The Japan Precision Measuring Instruments Manufacturers Association holds comprehensive exhibitions concerning measurement and all related aspects, promotes standardization that contributes to the improvement of technology and quality, and holds seminars in collaboration with other organizations. Hitoshi Yoshida, Chairman and CEO of Tokyo Seimitsu, has been the Chairman of this industrial association since fiscal 2020.

At the Measuring Technology Expo 2023 hosted by our industry association, our company members took the lead in planning, preparing, and operating the Precision Measurement Equipment Utilization Seminar.
