Communications with Stakeholders

Anritsu channels stakeholder input to its business activities through information and interactive communications media including reports, news releases, advertising, exhibits and magazine mailings through the Internet.

Communications with Shareholders and Investors

  To maintain a fair and appropriate relationship with, and ask our shareholders and investors for understanding of company activities, Anritsu Corporation's IR (Investor Relations) activities include information disclosure and communication according to disclosure policies and internal rules.

Announcement of Settlement of Accounts

  Anritsu Corporation has been announcing its settlements of accounts on a quarterly basis since the year 2002, prior to implementation of related Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations, disclosing such content widely among news organizations, then holding Explanation Meetings attended by the president for institutional investors and analysts. Moreover, a top Anritsu representative vows that the Company will sincerely disclose corporate information to investors, in a timely way, whenever required.

Shareholders Meeting

  In fiscal 2005, the Company held a meeting with shareholders after the general shareholders meeting. After Anritsu Corp.'s president explained the Company's management policies, we had a discussion with shareholders.

Website for Investors

  Anritsu's website for investors in Japanese and English gives shareholders and investors worldwide quick access to much up-todate, timely information regarding settlement of accounts, featuring video, audio and Q&A presentation materials; easy-to-read technical guides targeted at investors; news releases about new products and business, and more. A Contact Investor Relations corner of the website makes it easy for investors and potential investors to make further inquiries.

Communications with Institutional Investors and Analysts

  Our top management and IR personnel visit institutional investors and analysts to maintain effective communications. In Japan, the Company holds small or independent meetings after quarterly settlements of accounts. In fiscal 2005, we visited institutional investors in the United States, Europe (U.K. and Switzerland) and Asia (Singapore and Hong Kong) one at a time, and also met independently with those who visited Japan. We carefully consider views expressed to us in these ways, and relay the feedback to senior management in order to improve management and business activities.

Assessment by External Organizations

  Every year since 2002, and again in fiscal 2005, Anritsu Corporation received the honor of nomination to join the FTSE4Good (Global Index and Japan Index) companies. The Company also earned the Internet IR Excellence Prize 2005 from Daiwa Investor Relations Co., Ltd., and The Japan Research Institute, Limited selected Anritsu Corporation as a Corporation Advanced in Social Responsibility Management Activities.

Communications with Suppliers and Partners

Anritsu Corporation's Basic Rules for Procurement

  Anritsu procures its materials and resources from suppliers and partners inside and outside Japan, on condition that it observes relevant laws and establishes long-term relationships in the spirit of fairness and harmony. To fulfill our social responsibilities in these situations, Anritsu determined that it is essential to perform activities through the entire supply chain involving suppliers and partners. As a result, Anritsu Corporation revised its Basic Rules for Procurement in January 2006, adding new items requesting that our suppliers and partners also consider issues such as human rights.

Basic Rules for Procurement

1. Selection of suppliers and partners
Anritsu keeps the door open to new potential suppliers and partners inside and outside Japan, in a spirit of fairness and harmony at all times. Anritsu objectively selects suppliers and partners based on proper standards, emphasizing characteristics such as quality, price, delivery schedules and environmental measures.
2. Partnership
Anritsu builds mutually beneficial relationships with all suppliers and partners through sound business practices.
3. Compliance and secrecy protection
Anritsu conducts business in full compliance with relevant laws, and does not disclose information acquired through business with suppliers and partners to any third party without these suppliers' and partners' prior consent.
4. Activity based on ethical concepts
Personnel involved in procurement keep in mind at all times the importance of performing assignments fairly, free of personal interests with suppliers and partners, while maintaining sound relationships with these parties.
5. Considerations of human rights and labor
Anritsu respects human rights and promotes industrial hygiene, safety and security, and requests that suppliers and partners promote these activities as part of the supply chain under their approval. Anritsu may reconsider relationships with businesses having problems related to human rights, such as hiring child labor, racial and sexual discrimination, etc.

Communications with Suppliers and Partners

Components Exhibition  In planning and organizing technical seminars and components exhibitions in which suppliers and partners participate, Anritsu Corporation supports these parties by increasing their opportunities to learn about new technologies and grow their businesses. Anritsu Group in Japan also holds information exchange meetings twice a year with these parties to share information about our purchasing policies, business forecasts and environment-related activities; survey them using a questionnaire; and request their proposals for Anritsu to improve quality. These activities make procurement and supply among Anritsu and those parties smoother and more efficient, which contributes to building solid, lasting relationships of trust and reliance.

Anritsu provides its employees with the information dispatching/communication tools listed below to encourage them to be proud of themselves and their company.
