Furukawa Electric first started to issue Environmental Reports in fiscal 2000. Reflecting the growing need to also disclose
information relating to social matters in recent years however,
we decided to change the name of our fiscal 2006 publication tothe Environmental and Social Report. Following organizational
reforms in February 2007, we established a CSR Division andhave since stepped up our CSR management activities. We haveconsequently renamed this year’s publication the “CSR Report,”and have included information covering a broader range of areas, including both social and financial matters.
This Report has been compiled with reference to the Environmental Reporting Guidelines (Fiscal 2003 version) published bythe Ministry of the Environment.
