Vision
Since Sanyo Machine Works was founded in 1945, we have striven to develop manufacturing industry infrastructure through our corporate activities.
Our mission is to respond to new needs constantly arising from industry. Now, as society's economic and industrial structure reaches a major turning point, we will fulfill our mission through further technological innovation that helps to build infrastructure which will serve as a new foundation for manufacturing.
Moreover, our goal, as a company which grows in-step with society, is to help bring about a society that allows people to prosper. We will do so through mutual assistance and cooperation with various stakeholders which include customers, suppliers, employees and their families, and local communities.
We will engage in environmental activities, help revitalize local communities, and promote health and safety. In so doing, we will contribute not only to industry, but to the development of sustainable society as a whole.

Support for Employees and a Healthy Work Environment
We engage in activities to improve the health of our employees and their families, in collaboration with our health insurance society and industrial physicians.
Regular Health Screenings
In addition to legally-stipulated health screening items, we have established a system which requires employees to undergo complete medical checkups at certain ages (40, 45, 50, 55, etc.) so that they can gain a detailed understanding of their state of health. (Percentage of employees undergoing regular health screenings: 100%)
Special Health Screenings
We also conduct all special health screenings necessary for each type of work, including screenings concerning pneumoconiosis, lasers, welding fumes, and organic solvents. (Percentage of employees undergoing special health screenings: 100%)
Mental Health
We conduct stress checks, and implement initiatives intended to enable employees to obtain an objective understanding of their own mental state of health. We also offer mental health support for employees who report mental health problems or anxiety, and encourage them to schedule individual interviews with industrial physicians.
Health Screenings for Employee Family Members
We also work to improve the health of employee family members by serving as an intermediary for family members undergoing health insurance society health screenings.
Support for Detailed Examinations
Through our health insurance society, we provide guidance that allows employees to receive brain MRI scans, chest CT scans, and pelvic MRI scans for lower than usual out-of-pocket costs. We encourage employees to undergo health screenings to promote early detection of risk factors for various diseases.
Vaccinations
We work to protect our employees from infectious disease by providing opportunities for them to receive flu shots at work. The company also bears part of the cost when family members of employees receive individual vaccinations through hospitals or clinics.
Mediated Sales of Household Medicine
We are rolling out mediated sales of household medicines and sanitary supplies through our health insurance society. This allows employees to purchase them for less than the commercial prices found at drug stores and other providers.
Employment and Action Plan
Signing of 36 Agreement
Equal Pay for Equal Work
In order to achieve equal pay for equal work, we have stipulated evaluation standards based on results, performance, process, conduct, and other criteria, and promote appropriate evaluation according to work content and job ability.
Employment of Persons with Disabilities
We hire people with disabilities (new graduates and mid-career hires), and strive to achieve the statutory rate for employment of those with disabilities.
Formulation of Action Plan in Accordance with the Act on Promotion of Women's Participation and Advancement in the Workplace
Work-Life Balance Support
We support our employees in balancing work with pregnancy, childcare, and caregiving responsibilities.
Concern for the Environment
Solar Power Generation
We have installed photovoltaic panels (370W×1,650 units/320W×225 units/266W×172 units/209W×1,464 units) on the roof and generate solar power. Approximately 1,300,000 kWh of electricity will be generated annually. We supply all the generated electricity to the power company.
Switching to LED lighting
We are in the process of changing our lighting to LEDs. By switching from fluorescent to LED lighting, we are working to reduce power consumption.
Renewable Resource Supply
We sort the industrial waste generated by our corporate activities, and send reusable metals (iron, aluminum, copper, etc.) and paper materials (paper waste, magazines, cardboard, etc.) to a recycling company.
