Message from the Chief Environment Officer
Greetings from the Newly Appointed Officer
My name is Kohei Hayami. In April 2025, I was appointed Chief Environment Officer. My mission is to enhance Anritsu's corporate value through environmental management and establish our brand as an environmentally advanced company. I have spent a long time in the Sales Department, where I have had the opportunity to hear directly from our customers and other stakeholders. During my time in the Public Relations Department, where I worked until March 2025, I frequently received praise from external parties regarding the Anritsu Group's environmental initiatives. This reaffirmed my belief that this is one of our company’s key strengths. By raising awareness of Anritsu's environmental management among a wider audience, I aim to become a company in which our employees can take pride and that earns the deep trust of local communities, customers, and business partners.
CDP2024 A-List Selection
In February 2025, Anritsu was selected for the first time for the highest-rated A List in the CDP 2024 Climate Change category. It has been 12 years since we began responding to CDP surveys in 2012, and we are overjoyed to have finally achieved our long-cherished goal. Looking back on our activities to date, a major turning point was the launch of the Anritsu Climate Change Action PGRE 30, an initiative for in-house generation and consumption of renewable energy in 2020. The decision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by generating renewable energy ourselves for self-consumption, rather than purchasing electricity, truly reflects Anritsu's core value of focusing on achieving tangible results. This A-list rating was achieved largely through the success of our energy-saving initiatives in reducing consumption, truly a collective effort by all employees. Going forward, we will develop a roadmap for 2030 and beyond toward carbon neutrality by 2050, and take specific measures to achieve this goal.
Initiatives to Focus on in FY2025
Regarding the GLP2026 sustainability goal of releasing products that support resource recycling, we are considering the realization of this goal in PQA products, where 10% of the products are successfully recovered after use. This initiative involves reusing stainless steel from PQA products in new products. This fiscal year, we will optimize the transaction process for evaluating the quality of recovered stainless steel and reintroducing recycled materials. Biodiversity is another important theme. This fiscal year, we will prioritize the Atsugi Site—the Group's largest base located within the 5km radius of Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park—as a key location to assess the dependence and impact of our business activities on nature and biodiversity, along with associated risks and opportunities. We will also provide training for employees and promote initiatives to a achieve a nature positive attitude throughout the value chain.
The Anritsu Group will continue to prioritize communication with our stakeholders, and to practice environmentally conscious business activities in order to contribute to building a prosperous society where people and nature can coexist.
