MegaChips Value of Sustainability

The MegaChips Group prioritizes the achievement of a sustainable society and proactively promotes sustainability initiatives. These efforts align with our management philosophy, which focuses on driving the company’s growth through “innovation”, building trustworthy relationships with customers through “trust”, and creating products that benefit society through “creation”. Guided by this philosophy, MegaChips aims to address social issues through corporate activities and business initiatives as a socially, environmentally, and people-friendly company committed to contributing to a more prosperous, safe, and sustainable society.

① Compliance with Laws, Regulations, and Social Norms
MegaChips will comply with all laws and regulations and the rules of the international community, and conduct fair and sound corporate activities that do not violate social norms in accordance with company rules and standards. MegaChips takes a firm stance against antisocial forces that threaten the order and safety of society and will fulfill its responsibility as a corporation. In addition, we will continuously work on risk management initiatives and strive to prevent and reduce various risks. 

② Contributing to Society by Providing Superior Products
MegaChips contributes to creating a safe and comfortable society by promptly responding to the needs of the market and its customers and providing system (device) solutions based on its proprietary technology, thereby gaining the trust of its customers. MegaChips takes on the challenge of creating new corporate value and goes to great lengths to enhance its product planning and development capabilities by fusing technology and wisdom.

③ Creation of a Comfortable Work Environment (Diversity Promotion)
In addition to protecting safety in the workplace and health of all employees, MegaChips respects privacy and human rights and promotes the development of a workplace environment with diverse workstyles where staff can demonstrate their various skills. We will also foster a corporate culture in which each employee can exercise initiative and creativity while respecting personality and individuality, and develop highly specialized and creative human resources rich in originality.

④ Promoting Fair Transactions with Business Partners and Suppliers
We will enhance healthy relationships with our suppliers and other business partners, giving due consideration to the laws and regulations of each country and international rules and norms, and engaging in fair transactions in free competition. At the same time, we will strictly prevent all forms of corruption with our business partners, including extortion and bribery. We will also strive to understand various issues, including human rights violations, in the supply chain, and promote the establishment of a sustainable supply chain.

⑤ Respect for Stakeholders
In addition to respecting the viewpoint of all stakeholders, MegaChips will build relationships of trust through proactive information sharing and communication, and work together with stakeholders to resolve social issues. We also contribute to the development of communities by respecting the culture and traditions of local communities, enhancing relationships of trust with people, and fostering the next generation of engineers.

⑥ Contributing to the Preservation of the Global Environment and the Creation of a Prosperous Society
Based on the belief that it is essential to promote environmental conservation in order to create a safer future society, we will contribute to the establishment of a sustainable natural environment by achieving symbiosis between the environment and management. We will continuously work to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities by manufacturing environmentally friendly products, increasing the efficiency of resource utilization in manufacturing, reducing the use of chemical substances, and reducing energy consumption during transportation.

⑦ Respect for Human Rights

We treat every single employee with respect, ensure human rights are respected in all our business activities, and do not tolerate any form of unfair discrimination, child labor, or forced labor.
