Visions - Fall 2008 - 3

“To attach great importance to protecting the global environment” This declaration within Sumitomo Corporation’s mission statement speaks volumes about our company’s dedication to worldwide environmental concerns and its support of corporate social responsibility (CSR). In the course of implementing Sumitomo business spirit over the past 400 years, the company has long addressed environmental issues and contributed to society as a whole. For example, Sumitomo initiated a reforestation effort in Japan nearly a century ago to combat the pollution and emissions from the copper smelting operation. Years of smoke pollution from the Besshi Copper Mine had resulted in damage to the surrounding habitat, so Sumitomo undertook the effort to plant over a million trees, restoring the affected area to a lush and thriving habitat. As environmental concerns become embedded in modern business philosophy, we are reminded that Sumitomo has always held CSR as the highest of priorities. We know that the health and well-being of our home is in our hands. In the Americas, Sumitomo Corporation of America feels that eco-friendly businesses help the company contribute to society as a good corporate citizen. In a climate of increasing environmental concerns, SCOA’s business practices and partnerships work toward reiterating our steadfast resolution to protecting our precious planet and promoting sustainable development. In this issue of Visions (which is continuously printed on recycled paper), we will endeavor to show you some of the SCOA businesses that help the environment. Sumitomo Corporation of America 3
