CSR Vision and Fiscal 2018 Targets

Fuji Electric first set forth a set of principal CSR issues in 2011, and has focused on these issues primarily through the main responsible departments. For each of the principal issues, indices have been established to measure progress and midterm goals set for fiscal three years, enabling us to verify the status of our efforts on an annual basis.

    Recognizing that having all employees act in a manner reflecting an awareness of CSR would play an important role in our ability to reach these goals, we mounted activities to entrench CSR management at Fuji Electric.
