Organization for Promoting CSR

We established the CSR & Environmental Affairs Promotion Center, which is headed by the President and CEO, in order to clarify the objectives and responsibilities of the executives within the Advantest Group. The Center is responsible for the overall promotion of our CSR initiatives and affairs. Beneath this organization we have positioned the CSR & Environmental Affairs Promotion Office, which is responsible for implementing our social and environmental contribution activities. In addition, all divisions and departments within the Company exchange CSR-related information and conduct CSR activities on a daily basis; this in turn supports our compliance with ISO26000 standards.
Moreover, we established the CSR Working Group to promote CSR initiatives horizontally across the entire Group, The Working Group is staffed by members of the various departments that are responsible for the Group's CSR and it is developing and coordinating activities on a global scale.
