Sustainability Management

MISUMI Group has developed a unique business model which encompasses businesses like “FA” and “Die components” with business like “VONA” which distributes a wide range of products from production auxiliary materials to consumables.
Our business is focused on the industrial automation industry. We contribute to eliminating inefficiencies in this industry by helping customers and suppliers eliminate waste of all kinds. In addition, the industrial automation industry has realized automation and labor-saving of various economic activities and is indispensable in contributing to the sustainable development of society. The sustainable development of society creates demand in the industrial sector, creating new opportunities for MISUMI.
By contributing to the establishment of this cycle, the MISUMI Group aims to support the sustainable development of society and industry and achieve sustainable growth for the company itself.

We contribute to the development of the industrial automation industry by eliminating inefficiencies in total supply chain and entire business processes from the perspective of “time”. We have built a supply chain that serves more than 300,000 customers globally. We provide "time value" that reduces various wastes and man-hours in the industrial world by realizing "reliable and quick delivery". To continuously improve the value of time, we are constantly evolving and developing our business models, including businesses, products, and services. At the same time, we are working to strengthen our business infrastructure, including IT, production, and logistics, and the establishment of human resources infrastructure to support these business models.

The parts of automation equipment and devices are unique. Creating drawings, quotations, processing, and procuring parts are complicated and require extended delivery times, resulting in highly inefficient work. By standardizing the parts to be manufactured to order for automation equipment and devices, we eliminate the need to create drawings and significantly reduce the time spent on inefficient work for our customers. In addition, by realizing reliable, quick delivery on a global scale, even for a single part, we can reduce unnecessary inventory and eliminate production and operation opportunity losses. Furthermore, by providing digital services linked to 3D CAD, we have reduced the amount of waste and man-hours involved in the procurement process by approximately 90%, reducing energy consumption. We have also contributed to promoting the effective use of resources by eliminating paper drawings.
We will continue to contribute to the sustainable development of society through "time innovation" in the industrial automation industry.

Our business development provides added value that reduces resource input and consumption in the industrial automation industry. By fundamentally eliminating all kinds of “waste” for our customers and suppliers, we contribute to accelerating the transition from conventional mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal to a circular economy.
In addition, we are actively adapting to ESG promotion, which is a social demand, and we strive to prevent global warming and other climate changes through our business activities. In addition to our own company, we respect the diversity of cultures, histories, human rights, and human resources in the countries where our customers and suppliers are involved. We will continue to contribute to developing a sustainable society in cooperation with our stakeholders.
