Visions - Fall 2017 - 2
FROM THE EDITORS
Dear Visions Readers:
T
he colorful falling leaves, a hallmark of the season, can cause us to pause and reflect
upon the past. This fall, however, we aren't thinking about those days, but instead, we look ahead,
to days of experiencing new beginnings, and this issue of Visions is all about those new beginnings.
We show how we are staying a step ahead with our latest business portfolio investments and
opportunities in Silicon Valley. We spotlight the opening of our Cove Point LNG Facility for securing
and exporting liquid natural gas to Japan and beyond. In addition, you'll read about our newest
meat project in our food business and our new Material Issues initiative, which shows our renewed
effort to align our business with sustainable growth that benefits not just Sumitomo, but society
in general.
In a way, we at Sumitomo Corporation of Americas do not gaze at that autumn sunset in the
rearview mirror, but look toward that bright sunrise that we call the future. And it is bright indeed.
We sincerely hope you enjoy this new issue of Visions.
Sincerely,
Visions Editors
