Advantest aspires to help realize a safe, secure, and comfortable society and sustainable future as well as to solve social issues by enhancing our semiconductor testing business while expanding our business into peripheral business areas. Just as the value of our semiconductor testing is hard to see, it is harder to discern what the value of non-financial information is. Precisely because of its uncertainty, we strive to disclose information on our approach and initiatives for sustainability in our Third Mid-term Management Plan (2024 to 2026) that is easy for our stakeholders to understand and access.
Our Sustainability Website shares our approach and initiatives for sustainability from an ESG perspective along with detailed performance data. It is updated as necessary with the aim of disclosing information on sustainability in a comprehensive and prompt manner.
Since FY2018, we have been disclosing the contents of our Sustainability Website as of the end of August each year in PDF format in October of each year as the ”Sustainability Data Book”. In light of changes in the content of the Sustainability Website, the report has been renamed as the "Sustainability Report" from FY2024, which will be published in December of each year. We refer to the GRI Standards along with other guidelines in disclosing the Sustainability Report and the website.
Relationship with the Integrated Annual Report
Advantest positions our "Integrated Annual Report" as a "One-stop Handbook" for disclosing our corporate value from financial and non-financial perspectives. The Sustainability Website and the Sustainability Report are appendices to the Integrated Annual Report, compiled with the aim of providing a comprehensive and detailed report on information related to sustainability.
