Sustainability at Icom Incorporated
Our Approach to Sustainability
Aiming to realize the aspirations expressed in our founding management philosophy, “A Fun Future and Enjoyable Technology Created by Communication”, we aim to provide solutions that support a safe and prosperous society through wireless communication technology.
In today's increasingly sophisticated and complex society, wireless communication technology contributes greatly to the safety and convenience of society. Our products and services fulfill this mission by providing advanced communications in a variety of fields throughout the world.
We hope to contribute to the sustainable growth of the rapidly developing information society by leveraging the wireless communication technology we have cultivated as a specialized manufacturer of wireless communication devices and our creativity to produce things from scratch, and by providing products and services that further meet the demands and expectations of our customers.
Sustainability Management Aimed at Becoming a 100-Year Company
In our “Medium Term Business Plan 2026” formulated in May 2023, we have set the promotion of sustainable management with the aim of becoming a 100-year old company as a key theme. We aim to improve our value proposition based on sustainable management by focusing on Environment/Society/Governance (ESG) as an initiative for sustainable growth, and by strengthening our corporate foundation to generate high profit margins.
Social Issues to be addressed by Icom
In order to realize sustainable management and to achieve a sustainable, safe, and prosperous society, we believe it is necessary not only to develop and produce products, but also to take on the challenge of solving various social issues. Therefore, in our "Medium Term Business Plan 2026", we have set forth "Manufacturing for safety and security and reconstruction assistance," "Effective use of resources," and "Creating a rewarding corporate culture" as materiality (important issues) for proactive CSR initiatives, and we have also established KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to evaluate our performance.
We also recognize that from the perspective of “Connection with Society,” it is essential to proactively address ESG issues, and we are focusing on this as a goal to be addressed by promoting SDGs initiatives and responding to various initiatives such as TCFD and CDP.
Efforts to Improve our Value Proposition
We contribute to the realization of a safe and prosperous society by providing advanced communication solutions in a variety of fields around the world.
We will continue to provide products and solutions that meet the demands and expectations of our customers.
The history of our company is also the history of Japanese manufacturing. Since our founding, we have consistently stayed with domestic production, designing and developing our own products and manufacturing them in our own factories in Japan. "Made in Japan” is a strength of ours, based on our many years of experience and fundamental skill that does not change with the fluctuations of the economic environment.
Structure of Promoting Sustainability
In April 2023, we established the Sustainability Promotion Group under the Management Committee and put in place a system to promote sustainable management. The Sustainability Promotion Group is responsible for implementing the company-wide sustainability strategy and managing its progress. The Group is working to enhance the disclosure of sustainability-related information and regularly reports to the Board of Directors on the strategy through the Executive Committee.
We are also working to promote understanding of sustainability within the company in order to promote sustainability management on a company-wide basis. We are continuing our efforts to actively communicate with related departments to link our business activities with sustainability.
