Innovation for a Sustainable World‒ Connecting People and Technology
for a Better Future ‒The SCREEN Group traces its history back over 150 years to Ishida Kyokuzan Printing
Works, a lithographic printing shop founded in Kyoto in 1868. In 1934, we succeededin producing Japan’s ﬁrst photographic glass screens, eventually leading to our original
R&D division being spun off as an independent venture company in 1943 to become
Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.
After many decades of growth, in 2014, we transformed Dainippon Screen into
SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd. and restructured our now extensive Group. We remainclosely linked to our past, with our corporate name originating from those ﬁrst glass
screens produced by Ishida Kyokuzan Printing Works.
We have made it our purpose as a corporation to create “Innovation for a Sustainable
World.” This purpose is founded on three core values: “Sharing the Future,” reﬂecting
our desire to build a better future for society with commitment and integrity, “Personal
Development,” indicating our intention to realize everyone’s full potential throughtrust and teamwork, and “The Pursuit of Technological Excellence,” describing ourefforts to explore technologies while integrating with innovative collaboration.
Over the years, we have also remained dedicated to our Founder’s Motto of “Shi Ko Ten
Kai,” which encourages the broadening of everyone’s thoughts and horizons forinnovation. Following this motto, the SCREEN Group has continued to develop various
related businesses in the printing industry while also signiﬁcantly expanding the scopeof our operations to include semiconductors, displays, and other areas in theelectronics ﬁeld as well as completely new business areas.
We believe our purpose forms the cornerstone of our Group’s corporate philosophy,
and by implementing it, we are fulﬁlling our corporate social responsibility (CSR). To
support these efforts, we have established both a CSR Charter and a Code of Conduct.
While the CSR Charter includes principles of action based on our corporate philosophy,
the Code of Conduct lays out standards that each Group member should comply with.
All executives and employees are expected to practice responsible behavior as good
corporate citizens.
We also leverage our core surface processing, direct imaging, and image processing
technologies, continuously developed since our founding, to create new and improved
applications. This work enables us to supply our customers around the world with
innovative technologies, products, and services that can help to address various
societal issues and needs. Our overall goal remains, as always, to contribute to thesustainable development of global society, by striving to be excellent solution creators.
