Security Export Control

Policy on Security Export Control

FANUC is implementing appropriate security export controls in order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society while pursuing the enhancement of corporate value.
In accordance with the FANUC Security Export Control Program, we have established a security export control system and conduct strict security export control to ensure that our products and services are not used in transactions aimed at developing weapons of mass destruction or excessive accumulation of conventional weapons, and we comply with export control-related laws and regulations such as the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act.
We also strive to reduce the risk of violations related to these regulations by implementing export controls that take into account the re-export regulations of the United States, the laws and regulations and economic sanctions of the countries in which our overseas group companies are located

Security Export Control System

At FANUC, Representative Director, President and CEO serves as the Chief Security Export Control Officer, and the person in charge of security export control has been appointed. The Security Export Control Department is responsible for overall operations, and has established a system to ensure that security export control operations are carried out appropriately and independently of the sales divisions and other divisions.

Security Export Control Screening

When FANUC exports goods or provides services, it strictly checks whether the items customers intend to purchase are subject to export controls, and whether they will be used for purposes that threaten the peace and security of Japan or the international community.

Specifically, we provide products after conducting checks including the following: determining whether the product falls under the list restrictions of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act; screening the customer’s business details; screening the transaction to verify the product's intended use; applying for permission from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as necessary; and managing shipments to verify the product’s identity before delivery to prevent incorrect shipments.

Security Export Control Training

FANUC provides security export control training for directors and employees of the Company and all group companies. We are also focusing on the use of e-Learning and other methods to improve coverage and efficiency.

Security Export Control Audit

Regarding auditing, the Internal Audit Departmentat the head office conducts internal audits of the Company’s divisions in charge of export, etc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates to confirm that security export controls are properly implemented in accordance with the law. If any problems are identified during internal audits, the Company requires the relevant departments to submit improvement plans and then monitors the status of implementation.
