Anritsu Group's CSR activities are promoted by the CSR Promotion Committee, which I head as president. Based on The Anritsu Group Charter of Corporate Behavior and the Anritsu Group Code of Conduct, the Group as a whole is working to advance and achieve the goals of our CSR initiatives.
  Anritsu believes that good communication with all of its stakeholders is one of its major responsibilities to society, and that dealing with and finding solutions to communication issues enhances Anritsu's value to society. Anritsu puts a high priority on corporate social responsibility in its main businesses, as it strives to increase economic value, improve social justice and quality of life for a majority of people, as well as conserve the ecosystem and natural environment.
  The second year of Anritsu Group's CSR reporting is under way. As our business expands, our operations have become more international in scope throughout regional markets in various countries, and our CSR promotion activities are called upon to address problems from a global perspective. To deal with various issues of international society resulting from our globalization, we took part in the Global Compact championed by the U.N. in March 2006. By making the entire Anritsu Group more conscious of CSR from a universal perspective, we will advance our vision of our corporation's global business activities.
  A point that I made in my introductory message for the CSR Report 2005 published in July 2005 was "Anritsu Group CSR activities aim at earnest application of our company philosophy with sincerity, harmony and enthusiasm." I thereby reconfirm my determination to advance solutions to CSR-related issues with absolute enthusiasm through sincere, fair business practices and by keeping harmony with society in mind.
  I pledge herewith that our progress at Anritsu Group will continue to keep us committed to our CSR activities, in keeping with our goal to grow and develop as society desires. I also pledge that Anritsu will contribute to a more safe, secure and comfortable society.
