Our group upholds the idea that "compliance comes before everything else" as the basis of our corporate activities. Everyone recognizes that "compliance means observing laws and regulations, and also acting in accordance with the values and ethics expected of companies and business people as members of society," and in their own actions, they should act in line with society. We are promoting compliance activities with an awareness of connections.
Specifically, we have established a CSR Code of Conduct that outlines how each individual should behave, and we are working to ensure that this is followed thoroughly.We also strive to practice on a daily basis the following: ``notice'' whether your own behavior is in line with the code of conduct, ``talk'' about it by not leaving it alone and seek advice, and ``correct'' by making corrections or improvements.
