Furukawa Electric maintains the basic position that both labor and management should endeavor to engage in sincere discussions, and therefore we focus on issue resolution and deepening mutual understanding. We hold our Central Management Briefings twice annually for public exchanges of opinion between labor and management. We have conducted such meetings for the 69 years since fiscal 1952. As of May 2021, we had held these briefings 136 times. Representatives from labor and management exchange frank opinions and share information about a broad spectrum of items at these briefings, such as the business environment, management, and topical matters. We also have in place various committees such as the Personnel System Exploratory Committee and the Committee for Studying Shorter Hours that are designed to improve the working environment, which management and labor discuss on a daily basis. These discussions lead to improvements in various systems and strengthen monitoring functions, such as compliance response and the implementation status of other CSR activities.
