The Murata Philosophy, which has guided the activities of our company since Murata’s inception, contains such phrases as “contribute to the development of culture”, “pursue prosperity for our company, our employees, customers, other partners and our communities” and “grow and prosper with an appreciative feeling of mutual pride and trust”, and these phrases represent the very spirit of our CSR policies today. It was in keeping with the principles of this philosophy that we established our CSR charter, in which Murata Group directors and employees undertake to fulfill their social responsibilities as good corporate citizens, and act on Murata’s management principles with integrity and justice. We have identified CS*1 and ES*2 as important ideals, and we dedicate ourselves to serving our multi-stakeholders responsibly and well. Murata is also committed to fulfilling its responsibilities as a member of society and the community, whether with respect to environmental efforts such as the reduction of CO2 and protection of biodiversity, pressing global issues including the problem of mineral resources in strife-torn regions, or the unprecedented devastation brought about by The Eastern Japan earthquake. In our business activities, we have made the health and safety of our employees our highest management priority, and we are engaged in an organization-wide effort to create a safe and comfortable workplace, and to maintain and promote the physical and mental health of our workers. As part of this effort, we are currently working to obtain OHSMS（Occupational Health and Safety Management System）certification. We at Murata remain committed to maintaining the trust of society at large, and, driven by the CSR Management Committee we have organized to act upon the management principles embodied in our CSR charter, we will continue to serve the needs of society by promoting our fully-integrated, company-wide CSR management policies in a consistent and strategic manner.
*1 CS : Making the efforts to have our customers consistently recognize the value we offer
*2 ES : A workplace environment in which the employees find their work challenging and in which they can continue to grow
