Corporate Proﬁle & CSR ReportSince our inception, FURUNO has been continually helping
people see things that are beyond the realm of visibility.
Through exhaustive research and development,
we create and implement our innovative technologies to solve
any problem, seen or unseen.
This mentality resulted in our invention of theworldʼ s ﬁrst ﬁsh ﬁnder.

P R E S I D E N T ʼS M E S S A G E
Celebrating 70 Years by Building a Foundation for Growth

However, the products FURUNO manufactures go far beyond making things visible.

FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD. (FURUNO) was the ﬁrst company in the world tosuccessfully commercialize a ﬁsh ﬁnder in 1948. For more than 70 years since thattime, we have contributed to the progress of society and industry by offering
cutting-edge, innovative electronic devices that serve our customers' needs. The
FURUNO Groupʼ s management philosophy is based on three universal values: “A
company exists to serve society” , “Its management must be creative” , and “Thehappiness of its employees comes with the growth of a company” . Also, The Groupʼ s
employees aim to embody four professional principles: “Face the future” , “Strive to be
the best” , “Be persistently original” , and “Be sincere” .

By making the invisible visible, we encounter new possibilities that we werenʼ t aware of before.
This not only beneﬁts those who directly use our instruments, but it also affects the lifestyles
of many people beyond them.
By looking at things from a customerʼ s point of view, we can see the problems at hand and ﬁnd
new possibilities that were previously beyond the realm of visibility.
And by analyzing the way we live,
FURUNO continues to create new values that are not yet visible to the human eye.

In addition to these universal values, the FURUNO Group has formulated a new
management vision, FURUNO GLOBAL VISION “NAVI NEXT 2030” , to carry the company
through to 2030. This overarching vision relates not only directly to how we conduct ourbusiness, but also to our human resources and corporate culture in ways that will guide us
toward 2030. We are committed to raising both customer and corporate value throughvarious sustainable and wide-ranging initiatives to achieve this vision.

help prevent collisions and ensure safe
navigation. They also make it possible to detect
ships, which do not appear on radar because
they are hidden in the shadow of islands.

Consideration for Our Customers
Advanced Fish-Finding Technology for Improved Efﬁciency on Fishing Boats

Following the acquisition of a controlling interest in New Zealandʼ s Electronic Navigation Ltd. (ENL), the FURUNO Group acquired
ENLʼ s multibeam sonar technology (WASSP) as well as the companyʼ s software planning and design capabilities, and incorporated
these elements into the development of new products and systems.
The WASSP (Wide Angle Sonar Seaﬂoor Proﬁler) sonar system is a wide-angle ﬁsh ﬁnder that displays a highly accurate image ofunderwater and seaﬂoor conditions through a combination of multibeam sonar scanning and computer rendering. Surveying a wide
area 120 degrees to port and starboard allows vessels to quickly
and accurately grasp the surrounding environment, including ﬁsh
reefs, drifting objects, ﬁsh schools, seaﬂoor topography, andsediment reﬂectivity. This not only helps prevent damage to ﬁshinggear but also allows for more efﬁcient operation by boosting fuelefﬁciency and shortening operating times.

Thorough Quality Management for Safety and Peace of Mind
To provide products that our customers can use with conﬁdence,
FURUNO has acquired certiﬁcation under the ISO 9001 international
standard for quality management systems. To ensure that our
products function properly in the harshest environments, we also set
our own quality standards and employ reliability assessment
techniques at each stage of development. Based on such standards
we are able to achieve optimal quality for the countries and regions,the environment and applications in which each product is used.
Marine electronic equipment is used in an extremely hostileenvironment, therefore, we test the equipment under a wide range ofenvironmental conditions including temperature, moisture, andvibration. We also perform repeated EMC testing* so customers canuse our products with peace of mind.
*Test for the possibility of electromagnetic interference with other equipment andeffects on the human body

Risk Management
Security Trade Control

In order to ensure the proper implementation of security export controls aimed at maintaining international peace andsecurity, FURUNOʼ s President is the chief executive responsible for setting up the control system. Regarding all goods,
software and technologies for export, we determine if anything is on a list subject to control and strictly implement
screening of the prospective end user and end uses involved in each trade.

Information Security Measures

Because system-wide measures are unable to completely
prevent increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, FURUNO
publishes an in-house newsletter on security and conducts
drills simulating a cyberattack to raise awareness of andattentiveness to security among employees. We are alsobuilding a new CSIRT (Computer Security Incident
Information
Response Team) system to carry out an initial response

FURUNO has four service centers̶located in Japan, the U.S.A., Germany and Singapore̶together with authorized
distributors in more than 40 countries. Our online Service Management System (SMS) allows information to be shared
among distributors and service centers related to equipment
installation and maintenance for each vessel, which enables
quick response for repairs and maintenance.
To get the maximum beneﬁt from these systems and to contributeto safe navigation requires not only high product quality but also
local guidance on proper installation, settings, and operation to
optimize the equipment use. We therefore train service technicianswith a comprehensive educational curriculum based on guidelinesthat cover all of the basic technology. Our subsidiaries outside ofJapan also provide guidance to shipyards on equipment andinstallation procedures, and actively host seminars for customers
to explain how to properly operate the equipment.

The FURUNO Groupʼ s Code of Conduct explicitly states:“We will comply with laws and regulations as well as social
ethics of each country and region, international rules, business
contracts, and internal rules.” We set up opportunities for fairtrade both inside and outside of Japan, and carry out
procurement based on a fair evaluation from the standpoint of
QCD+E (Q: Quality, C: Cost, D: Delivery time, E: Environment).
Our fundamental policy is to comply with all laws and societal
norms, and build relationships of mutual trust with our
suppliers, based on which we strive to build and maintainhealthy partnerships.

With global environmental issues becoming more serious, FURUNO considers the environment to be one of our vitalmanagement issues. The core mainstays of our environmental policy are protection of the global environment, the creationof a recycling-oriented society, and conservation of biodiversity. We are working to manufacture products that have low
environmental impact and to reduce impact in our business activities in the effort to achieve sustainability in society.
