  • 3.Verification of the report by independent third parties has heightened the credibility of the data through expansion of the target base as well as enrichment of environmental data that adds scope 3 emissions to previous CO2 emissions and water usage.
  • 4.The feature article examines our special subsidiary, Fujikura Cube.
  • 5.There are a variety of new themes set out in the report, including the Long-term Environmental Vision 2050, created in response to environmental movements following the COP21 Climate Change Conference; the establishment of the 20 Medium-term CSR Priority Measures, coming alongside the newly commenced New Medium-term Management Plan; and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), representing challenges for humanity's future in an approach centered on the United Nations.
