Casio’s Corporate Creed and Sustainability Management
The Corporate Creed of “Creativity and Contribution” and Sustainability Management
Mindful of its corporate creed of Creativity and Contribution, Casio has, since it was first founded, been engaged in the challenge of stimulating new needs and thereby bringing new value to the world. In 2024, to supplement our corporate creed, we set out a statement of our Purpose and Values indicating the path we need to follow.
Casio’s sustainability management means realizing sustainable corporate growth at the same time as contributing to the creation of a sustainable global society. We do this by encouraging all employees to practice our philosophy as they come together in creating new value to deliver to society.
We designate the management issues involved in combining enhancement of corporate value with the realization of a sustainable society as material issues. In 2024, we set targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) for each of these material issues. We will use these to strengthen our corporate structure for new value creation and to conduct risk management.
Throughout the changing times, we will continue working to contribute to the creation of an enriched and happy society through unique creativity.

United Nations Global Compact
In December 2010, Casio signed the United Nations Global Compact. Casio supports the ten principles of the four areas of the Compact — Human Rights, Labour, Environment, and Anti-Corruption — and pursues specific initiatives to fulfill the principles while appropriately disclosing progress.
Casio also serves as a member of the Japanese Global Compact Network Japan (GCNJ), a local network of the UN Global Compact. We actively participate in the subcommittees and address current issues by sharing information and corroborating with other companies.

SBTi
In April 2021, Casio’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This means the targets are aligned with climate science and, as such, can be expected to contribute to the international goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C.
SBTi is an initiative promoted by several international NGOs (CDP, World Resources Institute [WRI], the World Wide Fund for Nature [WWF], and the United Nations Global Compact) to encourage private companies and other organizations to set science-based targets for greenhouse gas emission reduction and help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The SBTi provides validation of science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets that comply with the Paris Agreement.
