한국어 
SATO aims to become a global solutions provider that contributes towards a better and more sustainable world. We strive to live up to our Credo of sharing the returns of our business with the society and other stakeholders because we believe we are responsible for the society and environment we live in.
Besides addressing societal and environmental concerns for customers through our main business, we work actively with different government bodies, welfare associations and companies in various activities to fulfill our corporate social responsibility.
Here are some of the recent CSR efforts and contributions from the Asia Pacific region:
1.Waste Recycling Program *Ongoing*
October 2019 onwards, Singapore
Waste has a huge negative impact on our natural environment and resources. By recycling, we can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and conserve natural resources such as wood and water to help our environment.
To do our part for the environment, a dedicated team from SATO offices in Singapore has come together to organise a recycling program to collect old and unwanted paper, plastic products and clothing items for recycling.
The program started at the beginning of October and received tremendous response from all staff members. Within a month, we have collected 44kg of paper, plastic and clothing items for recycling.
