  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

  • CSR Communication Book 2017
    CSR Communication Book 2017 Welcoming the Challenge of Helping to Build a Sustainable Global Society Cover story Casio’s creativity goes deeper than the surface of things. New realizations and discoveries abound, if you just look from a different angle. View the binary digit “0” from the side, and you see a “1.” This illustrates how Casio leverages multiple perspectives to create new value. In June 2017, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. celebrated its 60th anniversary. For six decades, Casio has lived up to its corporate creed of “Creativity and Contribution” by giving the world products that offer entirely new uses and features that no has ever seen before. Simply put, Casio’s approach to product creation is “creating something from nothing.” Each year, Casio issues this CSR Communication Book to share about its unique efforts to fulfill social responsibilities in a way that embodies “Creativity and Contribution.” This fiscal 2018 edition takes a multi-angled look at the exciting new challenges Casio is embracing and is full of fresh new content. In the “Message from the President,” Kazuhiro Kashio describes how Casio continues to differentiate itself by finding original ways to meet the changing needs of society, thereby ensuring that its businesses always make a social contribution. “Creativity and Contribution” is the guidepost for everything Casio does. This creed has been practiced for as long as Casio has been in business, and it is the foundation for the company’s CSR efforts. The sections entitled “Social Trends and CSR Progress” and “Recent Social Trends and Casio Initiatives” look back on how Casio’s social responsibility initiatives have evolved with the times.

Source of fund performance is Fidelity. Basis: nav-nav with income reinvested, in JPY, net of fees. Other share classes may be available. Please refer to the prospectus for more details. Fund Index Market Environment The Japanese market rose in August as positive corporate earnings countered concerns over the fast-spreading Delta variant of COVID-19. The Japanese government decided to extend the COVID-19 state of emergency covering Tokyo and five other areas to 12 September, while expanding the measure to seven more prefectures as the resurgence of infections shows no signs of subsiding. Meanwhile, the market reacted positively to the US Senate’s approval of a $1 trillion infrastructure bill. In addition, investors welcomed US Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments that allayed market fears of a fast withdrawal of pandemic-era stimulus. Markets were also enthused by upbeat earnings, although sentiment was dampened after Toyota Motor announced plans to slash its global output by 40% in September due to chip shortages. In keeping with the overall market trend, most sectors gained, while growth names outperformed value stocks. At a market-cap level, gains were largely similar, with large-caps slightly ahead. TSE Mothers, an index of emerging companies, also rose in August.
