business technology,” “globally expanding our business” and “maximizing our strengths as ateam.”In the international community, business entities are also members of the community andmust actively try to achieve economic growth while simultaneously solving social andenvironmental issues, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),

Vision 2050,” and started ensuring that our supply chains as a whole pursue the following
goals: “achieving a low-carbon society,” “achieving a recycling-oriented society” and“achieving a society that is in harmony with nature.” In parallel we revised the “Fuji Electric
Corporate Code of Conduct,” which provides guidelines for our employees’ actions andclarifies our approach to addressing the common goals and norms of the international
community, such as the SDGs, and which also states that we will promote procurement
activities and establish supply chains that support equitable and fair trade as well as asustainable society, together with our business partners (hereafter referred to as “Business
Partners” or “you”), under the principle of “respecting and valuing our business partners.”
These Guidelines are intended to help Business Partners understand our activities forfulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to create a sustainable society, and summarize

Please understand, approve and carry out the objectives of these Guidelines and promote
