Policy and Basic Approach

Since the time of our founding, our basic management policy has been to “contribute to the development of the economy and society while pursuing profits,” and we have placed an emphasis on fulfilling our social responsibilities as a good corporate citizen.
Implementation of compliance is becoming increasingly important in a diversified society. We will make efforts to become a truly global company that is trusted by society and contributes to the world, by not only complying with laws and regulations and social norms, but also engaging in business with integrity and high ethical standards.

The Company has introduced an internal reporting system that can be used by Group employees. Related internal regulations.

Internal Reporting System

The Company has introduced an internal reporting system that can be used by Group employees. Related internal regulations stipulate basic matters on consultation and reporting, and clearly state protection of the anonymity of information providers and prevention of the disadvantageous treatment of such providers. We also created a system for employees to consult and report directly to a fair and neutral outside professional because we believe that some employees will be reluctant to report within their workplaces or to the department in charge of compliance promotion as the internal reporting contact.

Export Control

Some of our products and technologies are subject to Japan’s security trade control-related laws and regulations. Based on the principle of observing export/import laws and regulations to conduct appropriate control, regulations related to security trade control have been established. We have also organized a Company-wide Export Control Subcommittee, and established a trade control system under which granting of approval/ disapproval for trading, examination of transactions, etc., is carried out without fail, for the purpose of putting these regulations into practice.
