Furuno Electric Co., Ltd.

1Introduction
Human health and global environmental conservation are the world's common wishes.
Furuno Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter called “Furuno”) places the balance of the Global
environmental conservation and Furuno's business activities as one of our top management
priorities, and sets its environmental philosophy as follows:- Promote conservation of the global environment.
- Promote the formation of a recycling-oriented society.
- Promote the sustenance of biodiversity.
- Promote fostering a corporate culture which seeks to co-exist with environment and society.

"Protect Our Earth!
Be a 21st Century Environmental Leader!
The Furuno Aims to Continue Manufacturing Eco-Friendly Products."
Through our business activities we aim to bring the above motto to fruition. Our Procurement
requirements were previously based on quality (Q), cost (C), and delivery (D). We have added
another factor, environment (E), to promote Green Procurement and would like to evaluate
our Suppliers activities for environment. Specifically in procurement of article, materials,
supplies, related equipment and services which we use, we evaluate the degree ofenvironmental impact and promote to eliminate or reduce the harmful chemical substancesand make effort to reduce the environmental load caused by whole Furuno’s businessactivities.
The social interest in the environmental issues is more growing. We must have responsibility
as a manufacturer to the compliance with laws and regulations, for example RoHS direct,
REACH regulation and Ship recycle convention and so on which are tightening day by day.
In this edition, we changed this document name to “Furuno Green Procurement Standards”
from “Green Procurement Standards for Parts and Materials”. This means we expanded thescope of this document application to not only the supply parts but your whole activities as asupplier. And especially about the management of chemical substances contained in products,
we selected to use “chemSHERPA” scheme which is created and maintained by the JAMP as
an information collect method.
We think this document can treat for SDGs, human’s global subjects for the sustainability
which contain environmental matters too.
We would like to ask you again to cooperate in green procurement again by revising thisdocument and we believe that it will lead your business to enhance sustainability.
Your understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.
