    To whom it may concern February 18, 2020 MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. IWASAKI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. MinebeaMitsumi, Iwasaki Electric Began an IoT Street Lighting Joint Demonstration Experiment in Suginami Ward - LED Streetlights with Unique Wireless Connectivity - MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. (MinebeaMitsumi) and IWASAKI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. (Iwasaki Electric) recently were provided the Suginami Ward demonstration field, and launched the “IoT Streetlight Demonstration Experiment”, which pioneered the smart city project. The test site will be equipped with 11 smart streetlights and one environmental sensor near the north exit of Nishi-Ogikubo Station. A unique feature of this set up is that the streetlights equipped with our own wireless connectivity form a network so streetlights and sensors can be centrally managed. The smart LED road/streetlights jointly being developed by MinebeaMitsumi and Iwasaki Electric can freely control the amount of light via wireless communication, enabling monitoring of lighting status and power consumption, while streamlining operation management and reducing power costs at the same time. Furthermore, combining environmental sensors makes it possible to acquire various data, such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, etc., and provide information services to residents. Through this project, we will contribute to energy and labor saving in Suginami Ward management, improvement of convenience for residents, and realization of safe and secure town development. [Installation Site] [Streetlight Information Monitoring Screen] Smart Streetlight Installation situation Environmental Sensor 1 [MinebeaMitsumi Smart City Solution] MinebeaMitsumi has developed a high efficiency LED streetlight with wireless functionality together with Iwasaki Electric with whom we have a business alliance, and been promoting the “Smart City” project since 2015.

  • Survey of Integrated Reports in Japan 2018
    Survey of Integrated Reports in Japan 2018 Integrated Reporting Center of Excellence KPMG in Japan March 2019 home.kpmg/jp Message from global thought leaders In this, the fifth year this survey report has been issued, KPMG has solicited the observations of thought leaders on corporate reporting. Japanese businesses pride themselves on a longer-term focus compared to the rest of the world, where prioritizing short-term gains has too often become the norm. Focusing on long-term value creation and taking into account all of the resources an organization uses is the sustainable, profitable, and proven way to manage a business. Many Japanese businesses are just beginning to implement integrated thinking and reporting. The findings in this report show that senior management must take ownership to spread integrated thinking in their businesses – not just in accounting but in strategy, operations, marketing, and the rest of the company as well. This report makes me optimistic and excited for Japanese business leaders as they strive to think, act, and communicate in an integrated and sustainable way. Dominic Barton ― International Integrated Reporting Council, Chairman Integrated Reporting improves communication between companies and investors and where most effective, sets the stage for enhanced corporate value creation over the mid to long-term. Investors desire integrated reports which provide comprehensive information disclosure useful for making investment decisions. The International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) has encouraged integrated reporting for many years. In 2015, ICGN s Disclosure and Transparency Committee ’ released Guidance on Integrated Business Reporting. The Guidance amplifies that strategic decisions should be based on factors that are broader than those reflected in the financial statements.
