Compliance

Approach to compliance

For many years, the NAGASE Group's Management Philosophy has upheld the ideal of maintaining the highest integrity as a member of society, and we hold dear the observation of laws, regulations, and rules.

In recent years, with the ever-accelerating changes in the external environment, restrictions by law have become more complex, diverse, and strict in the borderless world. There have been particularly stringent demands for compliance with the prohibition of bribery and the rules on fair competition. In addition, society's demands and expectations of corporations continue to change, and demands for corporate social responsibility are becoming stronger and stronger. In light of these trends, we adhere to the NAGASE Group's Basic Compliance Policy and ensure our compliance with the changing times.

Respecting compliance in every action that we take as a company, and being an organization that can detect issues early and take corrective action, implementing measures for improvement and rectifying these issues swiftly and decisively will allow us to gain credibility and trust with our business partners and stakeholders. Credibility and trust are treasured assets for the Group, and we intend to continue to grow these assets in our day-to-day business activities.
