Better Health for All

Tokyo Electron's principal goods and services, semiconductor production equipment, have no direct positive or negative health impact on the general public. The company generates no revenue from products with direct health impacts.

The company does not offer health-related products or services to the public, nor does its R&D focus on health-related outcomes. There is no evidence of significant health externalities from its operations that are not related to environmental impact (which is excluded by the value definition). While Tokyo Electron implements extensive internal employee wellness programs, these do not pertain to the firm's principal goods or services or external healthcare workforce capacity, and therefore do not apply to the KPIs for this value.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Tokyo Electron Limited is a manufacturer of semiconductor production equipment, not a financial institution.

The company does not offer lending, deposit services, or consumer credit products. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial services, such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives (financial), data accessibility (financial), fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, profit reinvestment in community finance, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion (banking deserts), and product simplicity (financial products), are not applicable to its core business model. No evidence was found in the provided articles to score these KPIs beyond the 'not applicable' threshold.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

The company reported a Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) of 0.23 in fiscal year 2025.

The global employee turnover rate was 2.4% in fiscal year 2025. In fiscal year 2025, there were 43 cases that led to disciplinary action due to compliance infractions, including 12 related to harassment and 30 for other violations of service obligations. Additionally, 27 compliance violations were recognized through the internal reporting system, primarily related to the work environment, including harassment. Non-regular employees constituted 3.3% of the total workforce in Japan in fiscal year 2025.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Tokyo Electron has a zero-tolerance policy for forced labor and bonded labor, which is communicated to major suppliers.

In fiscal year 2024, the company identified 298 RMAP conformant smelters with a 99% identification rate, and no sourced items were found to contain 3TG or cobalt mined/extracted by illicit methods. Cobalt was added to the target minerals in fiscal year 2025. In fiscal year 2025, 100% of new important suppliers were screened using social criteria. The company's Human Rights Policy, based on the RBA Code of Conduct, is integrated into supplier engagement, and 75% of material suppliers (by procurement spend) are covered by the RBA Code of Conduct. In fiscal year 2024, engagement with 12 suppliers regarding 'worker-paid recruitment and employment related fees' revealed human rights concerns, leading to corrective measures.

Honest & Fair Business

Tokyo Electron Limited reported no violations of laws or regulations with serious impact on business or local communities for fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025, and no environmental incidents or legal proceedings in fiscal 2024 and 2025.

The company has not had any financial restatements in the past five years. It was evaluated as a 'Low Risk' company by Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings. The company's internal reporting system, the Ethics & Compliance Hotline, is available 24/7 via a third-party system and is accessible to employees, suppliers, and retirees, allowing for anonymous reporting where permitted. However, the effectiveness of this system is not publicly measured, and the number of compliance violations identified through the system was 27 in fiscal 2025, 16 in fiscal 2024, and 19 in fiscal 2023. The company has a Basic Policy on the Prevention of Bribery and Corruption and Guidelines for Gifts, Hospitality and Entertainment, and conducts periodic anti-corruption training for various stakeholders, but lacks specific details on the frequency or effectiveness metrics of this training. The supply chain sustainability assessment was not conducted in fiscal 2025 due to revisions.

Kind to Animals

Tokyo Electron Limited, as a manufacturer of semiconductor production equipment, does not have operations that typically involve animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, or animal husbandry. Therefore, most KPIs related to these activities are not applicable. No evidence was found regarding measurable biodiversity impact from conservation initiatives, specific R&D investment in animal-free technologies, or engagement in animal welfare policy improvement.

The company's sustainability reports mention general biodiversity and forest conservation efforts, such as naming a 4.2 ha area 'Tokyo Electron Forest' and conducting tree-planting activities since 2017, but these do not include measurable biodiversity impact or species recovery metrics as required by the rubric.

No War, No Weapons

Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) has no direct evidence of revenue from arms or defense contracts.

The company conducts an annual survey for conflict minerals, adding cobalt to 3TG target minerals, and identified 298 RMAP conformant smelters. No sourced materials were found to contain 3TG or cobalt obtained through illicit methods, indicating 100% of materials are certified conflict-free. TEL signed the UN Global Compact in 2013 and is a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), promoting its Code of Conduct. However, the company publicly cites UNGP alignment, but third-party audits (RBA Code of Conduct) note major gaps, as indicated by the supply chain sustainability assessment not being conducted in fiscal 2025 due to revisions and reconsideration of the implementation period. The company acknowledges geopolitical tensions as business risks and has an Export Trade Control Committee, but specific metrics on the percentage of exports covered by verifiable end-user certificates, sales to embargoed regimes, or ethical safeguards for AI systems with potential military uses are not disclosed.
