Anritsu enhances its corporate value by
reinforcing governance in corporate activities worldwide. |

In order to enhance transparency and quality,
Anritsu has reinforced auditing functions to help management cope with
business environmental change with speed and flexibility. |

Separation between Management
Supervision and Operation Execution |
|
The Executive Officer System, introduced in 2000,
separates the functions and responsibilities of directors and executive
officers, and ensures that important management matters are decided
through full discussion at the Management Strategy Conference. By making
the Board of Directors a mechanism for supervision, it is contributing
to quick, appropriate business operations and enhanced management
supervision. In 2005, Anritsu invited an independent director, who is
the director/deputy chairman of the Daiwa Securities Group Inc. and the
chairman of the Institute, director of Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd.,
to reinforce management supervision functions. |

Compensation Advisory Committee |
|
The Compensation Advisory Committee, established
in 2004 to provide recommendations to the Board of Directors, maintains
transparency and accountability regarding the directors' compensation.
This committee discusses the compensation system and the level of
compensation for directors, executive officers and senior corporate
staff. |

Reinforcement of Auditing
Functions |
|
Anritsu Corporation assigned two independent
auditors from outside of the company to reinforce checks and balances
from the perspectives of legislators and shareholders. One is an
employee of NEC Corporation and the other is a lawyer with judicial
experience. Business operations are internally audited by the Internal
Auditing Center, while daily import/export control monitoring, for
instance, is performed by the Security Trade Control Dept. In this way,
departments and committees share functions, as needed, to strengthen
company-wide auditing functions. |

Entering its second year of full-scale operation in 2005, the
Anritsu Group CSR program is set to accelerate the momentum of the
initial year's progress, with established initiatives to be
refocused to improve effectiveness from a CSR perspective. Now,
Anritsu advances practices of objectives management for CSR
promotion, which is controlled through a secretariat proposing
priorities, assessing risks and working on solutions to accomplish
objectives set forth in CSR reports. The attitude of reporting
objectives and degrees to which they are achieved highlights
Anritsu's CSR and the importance of the CSR Report.
Anritsu links CSR activities with business operations and advances social
contributions by developing environment management, expanding the
Eco-Products lineup, and supporting such innovations as
ground-penetrating radar for mine detection and laser gas detection.
Anritsu focuses on superior standards of quality to meet growing
demand for security and safety in ways that are uniquely beneficial
to the ubiquitous network society.
As about half of Anritsu Group's sales comes from outside Japan and 40%
of employees are working outside Japan, we promote CSR activities in
many ways from a global perspective. Recognizing the importance of
sharing and promoting Anritsu's originality, and imparting its
universal values, philosophy, and business model of being an
Intelligent Solution Creator, we have a "Global leader development
training program" and "Global employee exchange program" for
promoting future leadership. In addition, the participation in the
Global Compact advocated by the United Nations may not only improve
Anritsu's presence as a global enterprise, but also helps in sharing
values that people outside Japan may easily understand.
At Anritsu, we are determined to put forth our best efforts in CSR
and fulfill our responsibilities as a global enterprise. |
