Editorial Policy

Following organizational reforms in February
2007, the Furukawa Electric Group establisheda CSR Division to step up its CSR management
activities. We consequently changed the name ofthe publication titled, “Environmental and SocialReport,” in 2007 to “CSR Report,” and we have
expanded the range of information covered by thereport to include both social and financial aspects.
This 2010 report features initiatives aimed atrealizing a recycling-oriented society implemented
by the Furukawa Electric Group over many years.
At the same time, the report highlights those new
eco businesses that the Group plans to pursue
over the next three years.
