Sekonic Corporation Japan provides wide range of light measurement devices for lighting industry, photographers and cinematographers around the world. Established in June 1951 as Seiko Electric Industries Co., Ltd., the first Sekonic brand exposure meter introduced was the revolutionary Sekonic P-1. Over the years, worldwide demand for exposure meters resulted in growth and the construction of a new factory in June of 1959. Through the years Sekonic meters became so well recognized that in February 1984 the Sekonic Digipro X-1 and L-518 meters were taken into space on the NASA Space Shuttle. Today Sekonic continues to produce and develop meters for every aspect of industrial lighting, photography, serving the film, video, cinematography, and digital photography markets.
Environment Protection Philosophy
Sekonic’s mission is to fulfill its social responsibilities and continue to exist permanently by ensuring that all members of its organization raise environmental awareness, enhance knowledge, and conduct business activities in human- and environment-friendly ways so as to preserve and improve the global environment.
Green Procurement
To reduce environmental burdens in all our business processes such as development, production, sales, and services, as well as in the products, comply with environment-related laws and regulations, and meet the corporate social responsibility by bringing safe, high-quality and attractive products to markets around the world, we established the “Green Procurement Guidelines” in February 2008. Since then, we have promoted green procurement with the understanding and cooperation of our suppliers.
With an increasing number of laws and regulations requiring the management of information about chemical substances, we are now in an era when it is absolutely necessary to share information across the supply chain, instead of individual companies analyzing and managing such information on their own.
In order to reduce environmental burdens of products, it is crucial to procure materials and parts with lower environmental impact. To promote environment-conscious material procurement activities, we count on our suppliers’ continued cooperation in achieving appropriate green procurement.
Commitment to Quality
For the purpose of bringing safe, high-quality products to customers, we have obtained ISO9001 certification and are making continuous improvements to achieve greater customer satisfaction.
