Top Management: Three Principles

• Corporate executives are to work personally to see that the spirit of this charter is accomplished and to secure the interest of all relevant stakeholders including shareholders.

• Secure total observance of relevant laws and of the spirit of this charter within the corporation.

  Improve employee education and other systems so that corporate personnel do not deviate from social norms when acting in their capacity as employees; deepen employees' understanding of the company's social role.

  In doing so, give a positive valuation to activities that contribute to society or improve the company's social esteem.

• Set up a division to perform in-house checks of corporate behavior, appoint a director in charge of such checks, or make other organizational arrangements suited to the corporation's own circumstances.

  Improve auditing functions and, through confirmation of the facts, make corporate behavior that is illegal, unfair, or in violation of social norms subject to punishment.
