Message from the President
Achieving a Sustainable Society
Business Combination with Applied Materials
The Tokyo Electron Group plans to combine with Applied
Materials, Inc. in 2014 with the aim of becoming a global
innovator in the semiconductor and display production

equipment industries. I am confident that the businesscombination will contribute substantially to the further

development of the semiconductor and semiconductor

production equipment industry and a sustainable society.
By bringing together the complementary state-of-the-art
technologies and services of each company, we intend

to create new development capabilities and a world classfinancial foundation, accelerate ground-breaking technologicalinnovation and production development, and establish thehighest quality management systems with support capabilities
that can respond accurately and in a timely manner toadvanced customer needs.

The business combination will also be an opportunity for

TEL Group employees to open doors to a wide range of newchallenges and we will strive to create an enthusiastic work
environment with a global focus that prizes diversity. We

believe that this in turn will further develop our employees’

talents and allow us to continue growing as a cutting-edge
global technology firm.

Review of 2013This year we once again made CSR the center of ourcorporate principles and established a company-wide CSR
infrastructure led by our dedicated division. For example,

we established new structures for corporate governance,
appointed a director responsible for implementing CSR,
established CSR organizations within group companies

including main overseas group sites, and created a CSR

implementation structure that is directly linked to management.
On a practical level, we incorporated the EICC® (Electronics
Industry Citizenship Coalitions®), into our business activities
