Environmental Management Promotion System

In response to increasing demand for global efforts, including responses to the European RoHS directive and the environmental expectations of customers, we reviewed our environmental management promotion system in fiscal 2005 and set up a Global Environment Management Meeting to deliberate and decide on environment-related matters. The Meeting acts as a superagency over the WEEE and RoHS meetings set up in 2003. In Japan, the Environment Management, Product Assessment and RoHS Steering Committees promote the environmental management system, the development of environmentally conscious products and the elimination of harmful substances in products, respectively.

Environmental Management Organization (Japan)

The environmental management organization of the Anritsu Group in Japan is led by the director of environmental management (executive officer of Anritsu Corporation and head of the Environmental Promotion Center) and promotes environmental management activities.

Acquisition of ISO14001 Certificate

We have established environmental management systems and obtained ISO 14001 certification at the Anritsu Group's main production sites in Japan and the U.S. (Anritsu Company). In 2008, the application scope of the environmental management system was extended to all sales bases of Anritsu Corporation. Anritsu Ltd. of the U.K., which had obtained certification in March 2000, returned its certificate upon the consolidation of its production department into Anritsu Company.

To measure the degree to which we share Eco-Mind awareness, we conducted the Third environmental awareness survey covering all employees of Anritsu Group companies in Japan. We designed the questionnaire to check respondents' understanding of environmental terminology and actions related to environmental issues. Using these results, we analyzed how the respondents' degree of environmental awareness correlates to their relevant actions and compares with the previous results. Respondents sharply increased from 57% in fiscal 2007 to 71%, suggesting a higher level of environmental awareness. The proportion of the Eco-Excellence group characterized by advanced environmental knowledge and environmentally friendly behavior increased from 22% to 26%. We will implement training to raise the response rate for the next survey and the number of Eco-Excellence employees.
