Practicing sustainability management to help build a sustainable world and maximize corporate value
Accelerating Sustainable Value Creation by Focusing on Our Purpose
Since its founding, Casio has embraced “Creativity and Contribution” as its corporate creed. We have made the most of original ideas and advanced technology to create new demand, making a positive impact on society and on people’s lives. Guided by this philosophy, we have launched groundbreaking products across various fields — calculators, timepieces, musical instruments, digital cameras, mobile phones, and devices — always growing as a company with technology at its core.
In the current era of accelerating change, we established our Purpose in June 2024: “Through the power to put wonder at hand, bring new levels of joy to lives one by one.” This statement expresses our dedication to creating new value with our unique perspectives and ideas, thereby enriching people’s daily lives. Today, where advanced functionality alone is not enough to set us apart, it is essential to grasp customers’ emotional and experiential values and provide products and services that meet their real needs. With our Purpose at the core of all our activities, we will continue pursuing this next phase in the evolution of “Creativity and Contribution.”
Management Policy and Material Issues Identified by Casio
We have set fiscal 2026 and beyond as a time to pursue transformation and innovation in order to shift onto a growth path. Our management priorities are threefold: (1) establishing a foundation for growth; (2) strengthening our management foundation; and (3) advancing our human capital strategy.
To translate these priorities into concrete action, we have identified eight material issues organized into three groups: “value creation through business,” “enhancement of management capital,” and “strengthening of management foundation.”
Under “value creation through business,” we aim to foster innovation by offering products and services that meet evolving customer values and needs. “Enhancement of management capital” supports this effort by strengthening our competitive advantages with a focus on human capital, intellectual capital, and manufacturing capital. Through “strengthening of management foundation,” we address key themes including governance, digital transformation, information security, respect for human rights, and environmental management, all in order to fulfill our responsibilities in building a sustainable society.
Strengthening Management Capital with Human Capital
As a human capital material issue, we have set the goal of “building trust and resonance with employees.” We focus on health and productivity management to create a safe, secure, and healthy work environment for all employees, seeking to boost motivation and build a vibrant organizational culture. Casio has been recognized as a “White 500” enterprise under the Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program three times (2018, 2024, and 2025). In 2025, we were also selected by the KENKO Investment for Health Stock Selection Program for the first time.
We also recognize the importance of developing autonomous personnel, take the initiative, and contribute to company growth and business development. At the same time, we are working to further strengthen management skills as we seek to drive sustained business growth across the Casio Group and create workplace environments where diverse talent can fully showcase their abilities.
Strengthening the Management Foundation That Supports Corporate Value
Strengthening corporate governance is vital for building an organization with integrity. We are implementing initiatives to enhance the quality of management oversight and execution, from enhancing board effectiveness to advancing global risk management. Concerning respect for human rights, we continually conduct human rights due diligence and education. As a company operating worldwide, we are dedicated to preventing human rights violations throughout our supply chain.
In strengthening environmental management, we have set reduction targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions as part of our response to climate change and are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We have also identified the transition to a recycling-oriented society and living in harmony with nature as material issues, and we are implementing measures based on defined KPIs.
Additionally, we view advancing DX and strengthening information security as critical priorities and are accelerating efforts to develop DX specialists and improve our organizational structure. Regarding information security, in light of the serious reflection prompted by an incident in 2024, we have bolstered our global framework for dedicated monitoring and threat detection and have thoroughly improved employee training. We will keep taking all necessary steps to prevent this from happening again.
Casio will continue practicing sustainability management focused on our Purpose, helping to build a sustainable world while maximizing corporate value. We are committed to driving transformation to meet the expectations of all our stakeholders and further enhancing corporate value.
