  • We will abide by laws and regulations, practice fair and free competition, maintain high standards of ethics, and ensure sound judgment in our corporate activities.
  • In accordance with our corporate philosophy, we will strive to accurately understand market and customer requirements, and provide products and services that are outstanding in terms of quality, safety and other aspects.
  • We will respect individuality, personality and diversity of employees; maintain and properly operate a good working environment and a fair personnel system with considerations for health and safety.
  • We will actively work to conserve the environment and contribute to a sustainable society.
  • We will stress transparency; proactively, appropriately and accurately disclose information; build relationships with stakeholders such as customers, shareholders, investors, business partners, and employees, based on mutual trust and cooperation; and aim to enhance corporate value.
  • As a good corporate citizen, we will contribute toward society and local communities.
  • We will maintain positive and honest relationships with governments and citizens, and will have no relationship with any antisocial interest or organization that poses a threat to the order and safety of society.

Appropriate information will be released to the public in a swift and accurate manner. Once responsibility and jurisdiction has been determined, strict action will be taken against those involved (including executive management, if applicable).
