CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Sumitomo Identifies Material Issues for
Sustainable Growth with Society
T
he basis for the Sumitomo Corporation Group's operations can be found in Sumitomo's
Business Philosophy, which has formed the foundation for Sumitomo's ongoing development
over the course of 400 years. The core concept of this philosophy, "Benefit for self and others,
private and public interests are one and the same." means that business pursuits, while benefiting
Sumitomo, must also benefit the nation and benefit society. Over the years, Sumitomo has continued
to grow together with society, and this is one of the reasons that in 2019, we will be able to celebrate
the 100th anniversary of Sumitomo Corporation's founding.
Sumitomo has a duty to go beyond simply maintaining an understanding of social changes. We do this
by constantly staying a step ahead in dealing with change, and leveraging our strengths to address
any issues that are identified. In line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted at
the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, Sumitomo has identified "Six Material Issues to Achieve
Sustainable Growth with Society", based on Sumitomo's Business Philosophy and the Sumitomo
Corporation Group's Corporate Mission Statement. Based on these material issues, medium-to-longterm management strategies and individual business initiatives can guide Sumitomo in making greater
contributions to the realization of a sustainable society. By fulfilling specific duties in these areas,
Sumitomo looks to map out an even clearer path toward continued growth, together with society, over
the next 100 years and beyond.
