SEL Baseball field and Biotope

The SEL Baseball field is located a 15-minute walk from our headquarters. It is not only used by our employees, but also lent out to the general public, and is utilized as a practice area for local soccer and baseball teams.
We have a Japanese garden and a biotope next to the SEL Baseball field and conduct nature conservation such as tree planting, insect breeding, and installation of birdhouses. In the summer, fireflies can be seen flying around, and we invite local elementary school children and their families to attend firefly watching gatherings.







Solar Panel

We have installed solar panels (self-consumption solar power generation) on our owned land and on the roof of our buildings. We work daily to develop semiconductor technologies that contribute to countermeasures against global warming. The installation of solar panels enables us to conduct research and development using environmentally friendly electricity, even if only slightly.



We maintain a tree grove for environmental conservation next to solar panels installed on our owned land about a 15-minute walk from our main office. We also grow citrus fruits such as yuzu, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, and so on.





Kabutomushi no Mori

Kabutomushi no Mori, a forest we manage and own for the purpose of preserving the natural environment, is located a 15-minute walk from our headquarters. Many valuable plants grow wild in the forest.







Kanagawa Street Tree Partnership Program

SEL participates in Kanagawa Street Tree Partnership Program*1 and Adopt-a-Highway Program*2, in which we take care of trees and clean areas around the office buildings.
