The “Joshin Group Code of Conduct” sets out the standards of conduct and decision-making that all employees working for the Joshin Group are expected to follow. It provides guidelines for appropriate conduct in corporate activities, covering such areas as engagement with various stakeholders, compliance with laws and social norms, appropriate handling of personal information, proper disclosure of corporate information, promotion of fair business practices, and environmental conservation. A booklet containing the Code of Conduct is distributed to all employees to promote awareness and ensure its thorough implementation. By putting the Code into practice in our daily activities, we strive to embody our commitment to business ethics, our corporate creed, and our management philosophy.
