In July 1972, a part of Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.’s Analysis Division
became independent and formed Sumika Chemical Analysis Service (SCAS), a 100%-owned
separate entity. SCAS began with environmental assessment as its business operation
core.
We subsequently enhanced and expanded other functions and businesses, including
evaluations of physical properties and R&D support operations.
In November 1997, we established our first overseas affiliate in Singapore: SCAS
SINGAPORE PTE LTD (SCASS). SCASS began providing Sumitomo Chemical’s MMA
and acrylic acid business with analytical services on a contract basis. |

We conduct our daily business operations according to the
following corporate principles.
Analysis is at the core of all developments made by
modern civilization.
Utilizing our state-of-the-art analytical technology, we will contribute to the creation of a bright future
for both individuals and society as a whole.

Policies and guidelines for corporate activities
to implement the above principles:
1. Completely dedicating ourselves to enhancing customer satisfaction.
Our customers come from virtually all industrial sectors and have their own
distinct corporate cultures. To meet their expectations, we will focus on each
industrial sector from the organizational as well as the operational perspective
to respond to the needs of our customers -and of the society of which
they are a part- in tangible form through our analytical products
and corporate projects, which we deliver as CS to our customers.
2. Creating a distinct corporate culture as an analytical service provider.
Being an organization of highly skilled experts, we significantly contributes
to society as a whole. To conduct technological development as well
as efficient and diverse operations in an industrial sector that
maintains its independence in the context of rapidly changing demand,
we need the courage and the strength to anticipate future trends.
We must proactively accept challenges without fearing change,
and as individuals transform our efforts into the personal motivation to work.
3. Become a stronger, more energetic company.
We strive to become the world’s leading company by encouraging all
our employees to enhance their technological strengths in the broadest sense.
To achieve this, we will incorporate the technologies and skills of
other industries, rather than clinging to conventional ways of conducting
business or R&D, and aim to raise the production efficiency of our high-level
technological know-how through active discussions and bold creative endeavors.
4. Striving to attain the pride and confidence born from making a
contribution to society through our specialized skills and technologies.
Our day-to-day activities are carried out in strict compliance with the
confidentiality agreements with our customers, the relevant laws and the
proper rules. Through the development of our specialized skills and technologies,
we provide valuable support
to our customers’ technological development and production processes,
ultimately contributing to the public good and to the protection of the
environment. As individuals devoted to these goals, we pledge to
continuously improve our knowledge and skills, adhering to and defending
our high ethical standards with pride as specialized professionals.
