Murata Philosophy which guided us through our corporate activities since Murata’s inception includes phrases such as “To contribute to the development of culture,” “To pursue prosperity for our company, our employees, customers, other partners and our communities” and “To grow and prosper with an appreciative feeling of mutual pride and trust.” These phrases represent the very spirit of our CSR activities today. We identify CS (creation and provision of values) and ES (motivation and growth for employees) as top priority values, strive to fulfill our responsibilities and actions for multi-stakeholders, and strengthen our commitment for global environmental protection. We have redoubled our effort starting last year by establishing Global Warming Prevention Special Committee under CSR Management Committee to deliberate CO2 reduction measures from design/development phase to manufacturing phase. As a result, we have established base unit goals leading us to reducing CO2 emissions as a total. Murata intends to bear the responsibility of tackling an urgent problem of global warming prevention as a member of society. In terms of business activities, we also position safety and health for all workers as the top-priority goal for our administration. To this end, we are now applying company-wide efforts to create a safe and comfortable work environment and maintenance and improvement of mental/physical health. We are aiming to become certified for an occupational health and safety management system as a part of this initiative. These activities are examples of responding to social requests and promoting CSR management continuously and strategically with CSR Management Committee as the central driving force.
