We have drawn up compliance regulations to maintain sound corporate activities by establishing methods of appropriate reporting with respect to organizational and individual violations of the law. These regulations unify our compliance system to prevent scandals from happening ahead of time, and also formed a Compliance Committee in the event any such violations might be committed.
In addition, we have created a code of conduct for all executives and employees founded on common moral criteria, societal norms, values and ethics in order to faithfully act in accordance with our company’s policy of being “an essential company to society” that upholds ethical and moralistic compliance based on common awareness.
