The Activity Guidelines serve as the fundamental basis of the Sumitomo Corporation Group’s compliance initiatives: “To comply with laws and regulations, while maintaining the highest ethical standards.” “Giving First Priority to Compliance” and “Reporting Compliance Issues Immediately” are fundamental principles of our corporate activities.
We have set up the Compliance Committee and are striving to conduct educational activities for all employees in order to help enhance our compliance management.
In preparation for the occurrence of possible ethical problems, other than the conventional up-the-ladder reporting system, we have completed the introduction of the Speak-Up System in which anyone can make a report directly to the Compliance Committee.
