Annual Report 2010 21
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
“The people of OKI, true to the company’s enterprising spirit, are committed to creating superior network
solutions and providing excellent information and communications services globally to meet the diversified
needs of communities worldwide in the information age.” Guided by this philosophy, OKI actively conducts
a variety of activities to fulfill its corporate social responsibilities, which include not only complying with
laws and regulations but also implementing sound business activities consistent with social norms.
CSR Activities Based on Corporate Philosophy
The OKI Group, as described in its corporate philosophy,
aims at contributing to the improvement of the quality of
life for people around the world through its core business,
namely the manufacturing and distribution of products and
services that can serve the development of the information
age. What underlies the group’s CSR initiatives is our com-
mitment to the pursuit and fulfillment of this idea.
Committed to CSR, OKI established the OKI Group
Charter of Corporate Conduct as a statement of values that
OKI Group companies need to share, in order to promote
Group-wide CSR activities. In addition to this, OKI set up
the OKI Group Code of Conduct to be conformed to by all
OKI executive officers and employees. This Code of
Conduct has been incorporated into OKI’s educational pro-
grams. We have also defined seven priority themes to be
pursued. The CSR Division, an organization dedicated to
CSR-related efforts, takes the initiative in promoting activi-
ties under these themes. By assuring that all OKI executive
officers and employees observe the Charter and Code and
behave accordingly, the OKI Group strives to fulfill its social
responsibility in accordance with the corporate philosophy.
OKI Participates in United Nations Global
Compact
In May 2010, OKI joined the
United Nations Global Compact.
The Global Compact is a CSR ini-
tiative proposed by then-UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan at
the World Economic Forum
meeting held in January 1999.
Participating organizations sup-
port the Global Compact’s 10
principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment,
and anti-corruption, and also undertake voluntary measures.
As of March 2010, 138 countries and approximately 8,000
companies and organizations had joined the Global
Compact. Encouraged by its participation, the OKI Group
will enforce its CSR activities by gaining a better under-
standing of its social responsibilities in the context of its
global business operations.
OKI Group Environmental Management
The OKI Group regards environmental initiatives as among
the most important elements of its CSR commitment.
Under the OKI Group Environmental Policy, based on which
we conduct our environmental management, we formulate
and implement environmental management systems
across the entire Group. We are committed to minimizing
the environmental impact of our business through our prod-
ucts, services and production activities, and our operational
sites. To ensure appropriate management, we promote ini-
tiatives guided by mid-term and annual targets set out in
the OKI Group Environmental Activity Plan. We will con-
tinue to contribute to environmental protection by creating
environmentally friendly products and services, saving
resources and energy, and reducing waste.
