Murata response

...Murata Group has adopted and maintained corporate policies not to authorize export and re-export transactions to embargoed/sanctioned countries/areas, including Iran, as well as restrict weapons- and military-related end-uses. We have not confirmed any evidence that sales of our products have been conducted for use in Iranian-origin military drones or by Russian military organizations. We do not identify some of the products mentioned in the IPHR report in question as ours, and they might have been mistakenly represented as Murata’s products.

Moreover, since 2022, Murata Group has suspended all business activities (such as exports, sales and technical support operations) of Murata’s products in Russia, Belarus, and sanctioned areas of Ukraine, and continue to maintain this policy.

Murata Group has established and maintained export control policies and procedures to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws of the countries in which they operate, including but not limited to Japan and the US. Our export control policy does not authorize either direct or indirect transactions to end-users with concerns of illicit military diversions. Please also refer to our statement (English and Japanese)

Additionally, we have requested and instructed that our authorized distribution and sales partners respect our group-wide policies, described above, and cooperate with prevention of illicit diversions. We are aware and concerned of the risks that Murata products might be subjected to Russia sanctions circumventions in supply chain links beyond resales by our distributors. We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and continue our efforts to enhance due diligence...
