Social Contribution

We provide career guidance for high school students to give them hands-on experiences, which will grow students into manufacturing workers of the future. In fiscal 2024, our front-line workers who graduated from an industrial high school in Saitama Prefecture visited the school. They gave speeches to youngsters, who might support the manufacturing industry in the future, about their experiences during job hunting, job satisfaction they get working at the Company, and manufacturing.

Since the Company is a B-to-B manufacturer, there is almost no chance in daily life for people to get to know us. We host events where participants can gain better understanding of the industry, job types, and the Company itself through similar experiences to doing the actual jobs.

The program explains about Tokyo Seimitsu, which engages in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment and precision measuring instrument businesses that are vital for “manufacturing,” and involves group work, among other activities, for thinking about challenges the participants may face if they work for the Company.

In addition to classroom lectures, a variety of programs are offered in which participants try doing experiments and evaluations while operating Tokyo Seimitsu’s equipment together with its engineers.

Tokyo Seimitsu is participating in Future College, a program organized by “SEMI FREAKS,” a semiconductor industry research website for students operated by SEMI Japan. Among the program’s events, we exhibited at “Future College@SEMICON 2024,” a joint information session for students held as part of “SEMICON Japan 2024.” In order to make many students aware of the semiconductor-related industry and increase their aspirations for excellent students, we held an information session in cooperation with other semiconductor industry companies that also participated. We will continue to work on activities to deepen understanding of semiconductor manufacturing for university students and graduate students who are interested in the semiconductor industry.

The Metrology Center provides a place for university students, high school students, and local companies to learn how measurement technologies contribute to manufacturing through our world-class products.

In this sort of “adoption” program, local residents and private companies carry out beautification activities for roads, parks, or other public facilities, “caring for these as if their own children,” while receiving tools, materials, and support from the local governments with jurisdiction over the facilities. Since 2004, the Hachioji Plant has implemented such activities into a part of the curriculum for new employee group education every year, focusing on the rotary on the east side of JR Kita-Hachioji Station. In fiscal 2024, program activities were held three times with 82 people participating.

The four Hachioji firefighting collaborative organizations include "Hachioji Firefighting Discussion Forum", "Hachioji Fire and Disaster Prevention Association", "Hachioji Association for Safety of Hazardous Materials", and "Hachioji Fire Prevention Management Study Group". The General Affairs Department of the Hachioji Plant is currently involved in the local firefighting administration as a member of the “Hachioji Association for Safety of Hazardous Materials” and as a vice chairman of the “Hachioji Fire Prevention Management Study Group.” Staff of the department attend joint board meetings for the fire prevention campaigns in spring and fall, among other events.

The Tsuchiura Plant has concluded a pollution control agreement with Tsuchiura City, aimed at the conservation of atmospheric environment and water environment, noise and vibration prevention, and the prevention of pollution from business activities.

The Tsuchiura Plant joins other companies near Nakanuki Park for weekly cleanups in and around the park. Since 2006, we have also carried out cleanups on our own across our divisions in turn every Monday. In fiscal 2024, we did so 50 times with participation by a total of 100 employees. Through the years of these cleanup activities, awareness has increased among members of the local community. Streets around the park, previously littered with garbage, have significantly improved in appearance. We will continue our activities to help beautify public parks and improve public manners.

In March 2016, the Tsuchiura Plant signed the “Tsuchiura Eco-Partner Agreement,” which takes a leading role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste in the area around the city of Tsuchiura. The Agreement promotes the efficient use of electricity and other energy as well as the reduction of garbage in business activities, and the initiatives to raise awareness of environmental conservation in the local community.

Located in a place rich in nature, the Furudono Plant respects biodiversity conservation and natural environment protection. In fiscal 2024, 16 employees participated in a cleanup activity along the Samegawa River nearby, contributing to local environmental conservation efforts.
