As a core operating company of ITOCHU Corporation, we recognize that a corporate governance system based on our corporate philosophy is one of the most important management issues, and as a foundation for ensuring sound, transparent, and efficient management centered on our medium-term management plan, we are working to continuously improve and enhance a more effective corporate governance system by establishing a Board of Directors and full-time officers, building internal control systems, enhancing risk management systems, compliance, and other systems.
Internal control systems
On May 15, 2006, our Board of Directors formulated the “Basic Policy on Internal Control Systems”. These internal control systems will be continuously improved through constant reviews, and we will strive to continuously improve them to establish more appropriate and efficient systems.
Compliance
Compliance with laws and regulations is positioned as the minimum foundation that must be ensured in order to practice the values expressed in our corporate philosophy, “to foster a culture of integrity and fairness and to grow together with people,” and the high ethical standards required in Itochu Corporation’s corporate philosophy, which is the “spirit of sanpo-yoshi” (meaning ‘three-way satisfaction,’ which advocated benefits to the seller, to the buyer and to society), and to ensure that each and every employee understands and complies with laws, regulations, and compliance for all of our business operations, we provide periodic training and education on compliance, as well as training and seminars on laws and regulations related to our business operations, and continuously strengthen and improve our rules, systems, and internal check frameworks. We also require strict compliance not only from our company, but also from our suppliers and supply chain, including those located overseas.
