* What is "Clean Innovation"* Initiatives that our products, technologies, quality, and environment should always be "clean"
Sustainable Policy
1. Products
Together with our customers and partners, we will create technologies to solve social and environmental issues, enhance the value of people's lives around the world, and aim for the future of a sustainable earth and the development of society.
2. Cooperation with local communities and employees.
We provide all employees who share their management philosophy with opportunities for dialogue, a comfortable work environment, and a place for growth. In addition, we respect diverse cultures and values, take issues seriously, and contribute to the development of the local community.
3. Supply Chain
We will promote CSR procurement together with suppliers, taking into consideration the impact of our business activities on society and the environment.
4. Human Resource Development and Innovation
We foster an internal culture in which diverse people can maximize their abilities and expertise and make the most of each other' lives. We will also provide opportunities to develop human resources to challenge the transformation of innovative markets to solve global issues.
5. Environment
In order to achieve business development through the creation of environmental value with the aim of realizing a sustainable society, we will comply with the requirements applied through our business activities, improve environmental issues, and expand our environmental initiatives with sympathy from people in society.
Sustainability refers to the idea of making the world sustainable from three broad perspectives: environment, society, and economy.
Management, Quality and Environmental Targets
1. Reduce complaints and human error with "clean" quality
- Reduction of external complaints
- Reduction of internal complaints
- Reduction of F costs
- Reduction of human error
2. Controlling CO2 emissions by working on SDGs (reducing wasteful raw materials and energy resources, improving work efficiency without waste and unevenness) in a "Kirei" environment
- Reduction of raw material usage (low money, small Ni, etc.)
- Reduction or maintenance of energy resource consumption (water, electricity, heavy oil, city gas)
- Reduction or maintenance of waste emissions
- Non-use of minerals, etc. in conflict zones
- Proposal of improvement in work efficiency by ingenuity
- Review of wasteful mechanisms (review of heavy management, efficiency of mechanisms, simplification, and efficiency in IT)
3.Materialize and embody "be kind to people and take good care of others"
- Creating a safe and secure work environment
- We will utilize the Safety and Health Committee and safety patrols to create an environment that never causes workers’ compensation, accidents (chemical accidents, pollution control), or fires.
- Thorough 5S3T (thorough cleaning, removal of crystals, contact polishing, cutting debris cleaning, measures against garbage and Garbage fluff, maintenance and maintenance of production facilities)
- Responsibility as a chemical company Thorough maintenance and maintenance in environmental equipment
- Strengthening the utilization of human resources
- Bottom-up of employee skills (skill-up education, multi-skilled workers)
- Appointment of female human resources
Initiatives for Management, Quality, and Environmental Targets
In order to achieve management, quality, and environmental targets (MS targets), the project team, each department of each office, and the staff department formulate an execution plan to fulfill a given role and carry out initiatives.
Response to conflict minerals
It is said that some of the minerals produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the surrounding countries (DRC countries) are the source of funds for armed groups that perform inhumane acts. Among them, the “Financial Regulation Reform Act” (Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted in July 2010, and in Article 1502, columbite-tantalite (tantalum) and tin stone (tin) were used as conflict minerals (conflict minerals). ), gold and iron manganese heavies (tungsten) are listed, and US listed companies are required to disclose the usage status.
While international efforts are being made to address the above, the Yamato Denki Group will work to eliminate the use of conflict minerals in order to fulfill its social responsibility as a company in the supply chain.
Policy
We do not use conflict minerals that lead to inhumane activities.
If a material procurement investigation reveals that it is a conflict mineral, we will immediately stop trading.
We do not use conflict minerals that lead to inhumane activities. If it is found to be a material that is not limited to conflict minerals and that leads to inhumane activities, we will stop using it immediately.

Direct plating of organic film material
Traditionally, when film formation to maintain smooth as glass and plastic, been using dry process is expensive.
Maintaining surface smoothness of the material, can form a solid film by this new plating process.
Maintain the smoothness of nanoscale.
Without using a dry process, polyimide,glass,PET, PEN ,PPA, LCP, Polycarbonate plating can be formed into high performance and lowcost.
Can also ITO electrode plating thicktype electroless Au.
Direct plating on glass
Usually, direct plating to glass strongly roughs the glass surface with hydrofluoric acid, etc., but in our development process, it is possible to form a plating film with mirror gloss by adopting a unique pretreatment that hardly devastates the material and a unique electroless plating with high uniformity.
Electroless Cu plating
Appearance surface roughness after plating
Our pretreatment, which hardly devastates the material, allows the surface roughness of the nano-order to form a high-adhesion plating film.
Before Pre-treatment Ra: 0.5nm
After pretreatment Ra: 1nm
Zinc-free plating on aluminum
Usually, aluminum materials are highly solubility in acids and alkalis, and it is common to chemically perform zinc substitution (zinc treatment) and perform plating processing.
This technology is capable of plating directly into aluminum materials without zinc replacement treatment.
As a result, the process is shortened, and the partial plating method can be easily performed.
