CSR Activities through Our Main
Businesses |
|
Anritsu Group is committed to CSR activities
through its main business operations. For the Group, the main issue of
CSR activities is to advance business operations in order not only to
increase economic value, but also to help improve social justice and
quality of living for many people, as well as to conserve the ecosystem
and natural environment. |

|
|
Respecting Stakeholders'
Perspectives |
|
Based on our company commitment, Anritsu
maintains close ties through mutual communication with the stakeholders
that support our business activities. Learning through such
communications, Anritsu aims to be an essential member whose growth and
development are desired by society. |

CSR Promotion Structure |
|
Anritsu's president started to serve as the chief
of the CSR Promotion Committee established in November 2004 while top
management led CSR promotion activities, as the CSR Promotion Center was
created to promote all kinds of CSR activities. The Center also upholds
corporate ethics according to the CSR Promotion Committee's policy in
cooperation with the Legal Dept. that oversees compliance and the
Internal Control Improvement Center that oversees
internal controls. It also
functions as the public face of Anritsu's CSR activities.
No single department or organization can achieve CSR objectives on its
own. Achieving CSR objectives requires a total Group effort and seamless
cooperation across Anritsu Group Company departments, specifically in
areas such as those involving CS/quality, human rights and external
social concerns. At Anritsu, the CSR Promotion Center helps Group
departments to realize objectives, and we continue efforts to understand
and assess the current situation in order to develop our CSR activities
further. |

Anritsu Supports the Global
Compact |
|
Anritsu Group's CSR activities advanced in March 2006, as Anritsu
supported the universal principles of the Global Compact (GC) initially
addressed by UN Secretary-General Kofi A. Annan at the World Economic
Forum in 1999. The philosophy and concept of the GC are compatible with
The Anritsu Group Charter of Corporate Behavior advocating action with
sincerity, harmony and enthusiasm. By participating in the GC,
exchanging opinions with other GC members, and performing GC activities,
we will advance our vision of our future as all of Anritsu Group and
pursue CSR activities from a more universal perspective. |
