Environmental Management Promotion System :
Green Procurement/Green Purchasing |
|
|
Anritsu is establishing a system to promote environment management
globally by building and implementing an environment management
system through collaboration among its Group Companies in Japan
and abroad.
The Anritsu Group as a whole is actively promoting green
procurement and green purchasing.

Environment Management Promotion
System |
|
The need for a global approach is increasing as
evidenced by the RoHS Directive of the EU and customers' demand for
environment conservation, so we reviewed our environment management
promotion system in fiscal 2005 and set up the Global Environment
Management Meeting. It includes its sub-divisional organs of WEEE and
RoHS meeting established in 2003, in order to discuss and decide matters
related to the environment in general. In Japan, we have the Environment
Management Committee, the Product
Assessment Committee and the Hazardous Substance Measure Committee
that promote the environment management system, the development of
environmentally conscious products and the development of hazardous
substance-free products, respectively. |

Green Procurement |

EMS Support to Suppliers
It is essential that environmentally conscious products feature a reduced
environmental load of components and materials. At Anritsu, we assess
the environmental management systems (EMS) and product assessment
practices of major suppliers. According to the assessment, we classify
the suppliers into three categories and certify our A-rank (most
dedicated) suppliers as environmental partners. We also continue to
support B or C-rank suppliers to improve their environmental management. |

|
Hazardous Substance Survey and Utilization for
Designing (Green Procurement)
Anritsu is conducting surveys on hazardous substances in procured
parts/material, using the survey formula set by the Japan Green
Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative (JGPSSI). Survey results
are stored in the parts/material database and disclosed to the
development/design departments through the internal information network
used by designers to select parts/material, and to tally hazardous
substances. |

Promoting Purchase of Low-Emission Vehicles
In order to cope with air pollution and global warming due to automobile
exhaust gas, Anritsu has been promoting the purchase of low-emission
vehicles satisfying standards set by the central government and eight
local governments for business use, including those under lease
contract. In 2004, we set an initial target that 98% of our vehicles be
low-emission vehicles by fiscal 2006. Thanks to improved vehicle
performance and environmental consciousness, we purchased 74
low-emission vehicles in fiscal 2005, so that 99% of our company
vehicles are now low-emission vehicles. As a result, we far surpassed
the targets for fiscal 2005 and 2006. |
