Corporate Philanthropy
Policy
Anritsu contributes to society through its business operations while at the same time pursuing activities that benefit the development of the local community as a corporate citizen.
Community-based social contribution programs are at the center of these initiatives under the three pillars of “partnerships for educating youth”, “contributing to local communities” and “protecting the environment (biodiversity conservation)”, we carry out activities that our employees can participate in continuously.
Partnerships for Educating Youth
“Fun Science Laboratory” Sponsored by Atsugi City School Board, Kanagawa Prefecture
In order to make children more interested in Science, companies and universities in Atsugi city participate in the project of the Science lecture in the school. As the commissioned projects of Atsugi city, Anritsu have carried out the Science experiment in the primary school for the 4th grade of the primary school children. As for the battery which children use in daily life, we lectured on it and had an easy experiment with children.

Contributing to Local Communities
Anritsu Santa Bag
We set up the Anritsu Santa Bag during the Christmas season asking people to donate socks as part of the activities to commemorate as the Anritsu’s 120th anniversary since 2015. The initiative was launched after we learned from Atsugi City about the lack of new socks at child consultation centers. We were able to have 181 pairs of socks at the HQ and 36 pairs at the Koriyama site, and delivered them to the child consultation center.

Mt. Fuji Green Fund Afforestation Campaign
Since 2006, Anritsu has been participating in the Mt. Fuji Green Fund afforestation activities at the invitation of Ricoh Leasing Co., Ltd. The activity is part of a grand, 80-year-long effort launched in 2000 for regenerating forests destroyed by a typhoon in 1996.
We pruned the branches of tall trees and cut vines to allow sunshine to reach the forest floor and to improve air movement, so that planted trees can grow. Children younger than elementary school age participated in a classroom in the woods to learn about the importance of trees while strolling through the area.
