A message from Eiji Matsuo, CEO of CBC
Compliance* with applicable rules and regulations, as well as business ethics, is essential for the sustainable growth of the MHI Group, whose products and activities are trusted around the world.
Given the nature of our business, there are many sources of potential compliance risk in our daily operations. It is therefore imperative that the top management of each group company and the heads of each division are positive role models in terms of compliance and promote an environment of integrity and fairness that spreads throughout all levels of the organization.
Should a compliance violation occur within the MHI Group, it would not only cause significant problems for our various stakeholders, but could also be a threat to the continued viability of the MHI Group's business as a whole.
We will never tolerate any breach of compliance. As set out in the "MHI Group Global Code of Conduct", there is never a conflict between compliance and business growth. If presented with a choice between the two, our path is always compliance "everey time without fail".
We must never forget this "Compliance First" principle.
I, Eiji Matsuo, as a representative of CBC's management, affirm my commitment to maintaining and conducting business in a fair, ethical and sincere manner, acting in compliance with applicable laws, the Code of Conduct and internal regulations. I pledge to demand the same commitment from our employees so that their attitudes and behavior are in line with our Compliance and Ethics policy.
(*) In the MHI Group, the meaning of "Compliance" is to deal with business activities fairly and faithfully, observing all applicable "laws, ordinances, regulations, social and ethical imperatives" in order to realize the philosophy and objective of our group.
